FW: K3 Transmit Random Cutout

[Elecraft mailing list]

Thanks to all the replied but it is not the foot switch as it occurs with Voice Keyer by itself.

I appears that something is momentary heating up and dropping transmit out.

Still looking for any suggestions.

And I am sure I have worked some of you as ZF2PG this week. Schedule on QRZ.

Subject: K3 Transmit Random Cutout

 

K3, 100 watt, worked fine at home last week and was transported to the Caribbean.

Started Immediately Sunday morning, some time into a transmission on SSB, keyed with a foot switch or the voice keyer, the transmission just stops. This does not always occur. If I re-hit the foot switch, transmission starts up again.  I have not updated the software in 6 months and the 3 different antennas are delivering good SWR. +12 Power does not appear to be going away  and I have tried 2 different power supplies . The receive function is working fine and I can immediately continue the transmission. Issue was still there this morning. I am not using VOX

 

Need any possible suggestions
