[Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

[Karin Johnson]

Paul:
I had a problem with my K2 with the same identical symptoms you are
describing.

The fault was diagnosed to an intermittent ground/shield connection in the
RF output

Cable going to my amplifier.  It was an old cable that was out in the
weather and when 

I took it apart you could see the corrosion in the PL259 inside the holes
for grounding.

This cable worked for me for several years but recently failed.  

Bring some extra jumper coax with you.
