[Elecraft] K3 Power Drop During Operation

[Pete Michaelis - N8TR]

I had a similar problem with one of my K3's (#4576) starting last November.
Seemingly at random, output power dropped to around 35 watts.  At low
power settings (less than 12 watts) power was limited to 3.5 watts.  Sometimes
normal power output would be restored in a couple of hours,  other times I had
to turn the radio off for a day or two.  In December I sent it back 
to Elecraft to
find and fix the problem.  It is still there so I don't know what the 
problem was.
