Err 12V

[Paul Ormandy ZL4PW]

Hi all,

Yesterday, the K3 threw up the "Err 12V" error and bypassed the KPA3
module. The circuit breaker didn't pop and I was able to power off and
increase the power back up.

This was happening on PSK with 50W and RTTY with 100W.

I have yet to try digi modes in anger again today without first getting
some feedback. I had close to zero AGC/compression when this occurred.

Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Regards,

Paul

Check the crimp connections on the spades that connect to the circuit
breaker...
