3C0L K3 failures

[Wes Stewart-2]

It's been reported that both K3s on this expedition have failed, although one
was apparently repaired and they are limping along.

Has anyone heard what the failures were?

Hi Wes,

If you read all the 3C0L updates they have been reporting issues with the
generators and power supplies.
As such I'm guessing they had an over voltage issue and blown one of the
protection diodes on the RF board or in the KPA3
It's too bad, I could of used them for some band fills.

73,
