[Elecraft] K3 No Receive, No Transmit - SOLVED

[Alan Sewell N5NA]

I'm posting this for future reference in case someone else has this problem.

Yesterday while listening to my K3 it suddenly quit receiving any 
signals.  I also had no RF output.  There were no error messages.

I have two KSYN3A modules in my rig.  I did a search and found a post by 
W1ZK in September who had the same symptoms.  He posted he had a bad 
synthesizer.  When I checked the DISP SYN1 and SYN2 both showed OK so I 
didn't think I had a bad synthesizer.

Before calling Elecraft this afternoon I removed the top to see if I 
might have a loose TMP cable on one of the synthesizers.  None were 
loose but I did give a twist to the ones I could easily reach.  When I 
hooked the K3 back up it was working again.  Apparently there was a bit 
of tarnish/corrosion on one of the connectors and I twisted the right one.

Hopefully it will keep working!
