[Elecraft] Mysterious intermittent failure possibly related to power supply?

[Gary Smith]

Is it possible that you use the auto-tuner at home, some gremlin at 
FD pushed the ATU and put it into Bypass or adjusted it for that FD 
antenna and it no longer plays nice with your antenna at home, with 
the K3 folding back with things not copaesthetic as they were when 
you let your baby into the hands of varmits? 

Of course if this were the case, you kept a back up of your 
configuration so you could restore it to the 
"As-left-the-shack-after-being-loaned-out-and-being-returned-to-me" 
condition. Yes?

Just a guess, if the tuner is set for something much different than 
your home antennas, it'll fold back the power. Check that before 
wringing your hands. If not, maybe wringing of hands might help...

Just an Idear,
