[Elecraft] Elecraft contact- K3 power problem

Wed Mar 17 11:57:05 EDT 2021

I've had the same issue with power supply leads - a little polishing raised
the output under load by almost 0.8VDC.  A little dab of NO-OX ID A on the
studs and rings should keep 'em clean going forward.

I had a similar problem with our K3/Astron PS atP40L-P49Y.  Removing the
power cable from the back of the Astron and sanding the wires ends lightly
(though no corrosion could be seen) solved the problem.

Gordon, 

Have you verified that your power supply and DC power cable are delivering
full voltage to your K3 when the K3 is set to deliver
110 watts output? This is a frequent cause of low power output. 
Use the K3 internal voltmeter

I have a problem with my K3, only 60-70 watts out, even after calibration on
5 and 50 watts. This is the first time I have had a problem with the K3,
after years of good operation. I emailed support over a week ago and called
them on the phone last week, still have not heard anything. What is the
correct email for support?? 
Thanks,
Gordon - N1MGO K3 #5651
