[Elecraft] Well Hell.... I just bricked my K3s

[Ken Arck]

Just finished installing the 100 watt PA and all was going fine until 
the 14 mHz 50 watt calibration (using the K3 Utility program). The 
radio went dead and nothing I've tried brings it back to 
life...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I removed power completely, let it sit for 10 minutes, reconnected 
and all that happens is a small thump out of the speaker when I tap 
the power button. I even tried the initialization procedure in the 
manual (hold the SHIFT/LO button while tapping the power and nothing 
but the thump.

No USB comm either, no matter what (not surprised about that)

Ahhh well, figures on a Holiday weekend....
