[Elecraft] No Pwr out 20M

[David Thompson]

Good afternoon, Jim…

Do not be embarrassed. I’m a newly-minted operator and have all kinds of mistakes yet to be made. I can say that I have a lot of experience with computers and cannot tell you how many times the question “is it plugged in?” should have been the first things I checked. I will not estimate the number of hours spent troubleshooting that particular problem.

In any event, problem solved and it was a very simple problem to solve.

I had gone thru all bands to be sure I had the correct antenna port selected but after Grants post I figured I had better check that again and found it to be incorrect. All is good now. What a bonehead move. Sri for using up the bandwidth. After 65 years on the air I should have known better. Anyways, thanks guys.

>> Hi all, I'm new to the list. Just turned on my K3 and noticed I have no power out on 20 meters. I have performed all the normal trouble shooting stuff. The transmitter is fine on all other bands and has normal 100w output on a Bird 43 and Bird dummy load. It makes no difference if the rig is in bypass or ATU. It flashes HI SWR. I also put it on one of my antennas on another band and the tuner performed as it should. I suspect the ATU has gone wacky but wanted to consult here just on the off chance I may have missed something. Any input would be appreciated before I take a deep dive into the tuner. Thanks in advance for any help.
