[Elecraft] Power has disappeared

[Bill Conkling]

Couple questions:

1) What radio, K3 or K3S, or K2/100?

2) which antenna, 1 or 2?

3) You said you turned the “temps down to a more reasonable 23C…”  I don’t recall a temp setting, only a REF to current room temperature calibration step.

4) What is the voltage shown on the front panel display?
