[Elecraft] K3 Low Output on 15

[WILLIE BABER]

My 2014 purchased K3 is 20-25 watts low on 14mhz but all other bands are good.  ....just haven't worried about it as I normally use 50 watts or less to drive an amplifier.  I'll look into it after ARRL DX CW in February, so long as it doesn't get worse.

 The output of my K3 (SN 4657) has
 suddenly dropped 10-15 W on 15 meters, 
 from about 100 W to 85-90.  The other bands haven't
 changed, nor has the 
 supply voltage (13.6 V at full power). Restoring to a
 previous 
 configuration does not help.  I had a similar problem
 early on, also on 
 15, and had to ship the K3 back to Elecraft, who replaced
 the 10 W 
 module, but not the KPA3.  15 seems to be a problematic
 band.  Has 
 anyone else seen a problem like this?
