[Elecraft] No High Power on K3

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Have you seen the ERR 12V message?
I have an older K3 and ran into a problem where my 100 watt PA wasn't
working.  It turns out that there is a weak point in the power delivery
connector & Elecraft had a fix for it out years ago, it just took a long
time for mine to fail.
I contacted support and ordered a small kit to fix it, it wasn't too pricy
IIRC.
