[Elecraft] K3 no transmitting

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

hello to all

finally a local friend, couldn´t fix the TX problem with my K3

He follow all instructions that Robert gave me to check the LPA, but all
was OK, but the K3 go to TX but no RF output

He is sending the K3 to my house again.

Don´t know what else to test?, but it seems I will need to send it to the
USA with someone that travels there.

Do you know where to send it for service? I think Elecraft will not support
anymore the K3

73,
