[Elecraft] K3s Transmit question

[Gary Smith]

Last night while using the K3s and WSJT-X 
on meteor Scatter in the MSK144 mode I was 
making numerous contacts. I stopped for 
awhile and returned, this time noticing I 
was not putting out any output from the 
amp.

The rig went into the transmit state, and 
the relay engaged on the amp. There was a 
small grid current on the amp as one gets 
with key down and no transmitted signal. 
When I eventually moved the power control 
on the K3s ever so slightly, it 
transmitted properly. I had to do this 
several times but did not notice it 
before.

I re-loaded the factory settings with the 
Elecraft Utility and the issue remains 
albeit it is intermittent. Slightly moving 
the power knob resolves the issue.

Any suggestions?
