[Elecraft] k3 no RF in transmit

[Don Wilhelm]

Joe,

The XMIT button does not produce any RF nor switch the mode.
It is like a front panel PTT switch, but tap on and tap off.
If you do a TUNE (hold the button for 2 seconds), it will go to CW mode 
and produce output (no key needed).

Then looked at the radio it had the red XMIT light on and two dash marks in place of SWR and said 0 Watts out. So disconnected every thing except power and antenna switched antenna switch to dummy and get the same thing on any band.  Of course when you depress The XMIT button it switches to CW. But I did hook a Mic up. With the mic hooked up I got the red XMIT led with ALC on the display I would see the ALC change as I was talking in the MIC. But when I switch over to the display that shows RF out there is no indication of RF. Is this something other people have had. I realize it could most likely be multiple different thing but would these indications narrow it down to a section of the radio like maybe the 100 watt amp. Or something like that.
