[SJDXA] K3 Error

[w1gd at aol.com]

 Hi Steve,Merry Christmas.
Yes, on reason for ERR12V is the connector to the PA board.  I believe another cause is a power supply issue.  It's easy the check the voltage at the radio.
I had this issue with my older K3 (SN1428) and replaced the connector with ones using gold pins. They changed to gold pins at some time (SN in the 3000s?) When I had my issue, I couldn't raise the power output above 12 watts.
There's a lot of history on the Elecraft reflector and in the groups.io list.

Hopefully somebody can guide me on a fix for this error:

  

ERR 12V … am I reading the Manual correct that the PA circuit might be bad?
