[Elecraft] K3s problem

[Michael Carter]

Hi Curt,

Do you have the internal ATU in your K3s?

If so, disable it by putting it in Bypass mode
and repeat your experiment.

Does the Forward power meter show any
output power, and can you confirm the
actual output power with an external power
meter?

If you still have a very high SWR into a dummy
load, substitute a different coax cable and
carefully tighten both coax connectors.

It is possible you have a failed rectifier diode
in the Forward path power sensing circuit or
a circuit interruption in that sensor path that
falsely indicates zero output power.
