[Elecraft] K3 no power out

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Josep,

Please check the obvious things:

1) Is 'test mode' on?
2) Is the power level turned to zero?
3) Is the VOX on (for CW)?
4) Are you using the right antenna selection?
5) Is your key plugged in/wiring OK?

I know some of this is really basic, but sometimes in the heat of 
battle, something gets overlooked.

73,
