Help - K3/100 no power over 12w

[jreedbum]

Prior to running WSPR on 10 meters at 5 watts for about 30 minutes
yesterday the radio was functioning properly putting around 30 watts into a
KPA500. Now today nothing above 12. I've tried the parameter
initialization, power calibration, and even reloading the firmware but no
joy. Is there anything else I could try or should I ship it to Elecraft?
Thanks, Reed AA1RB

I have sent mine (SN # 2090) back to Elecraft twice for the same problem..
Seems like the low power devices fail.

They fixed it up and returned until the next time.

1. Make sure CONFIG:KPA3 shows 'PA nor'.  If not, set it to 'PA nor'.

2. If 1. doesn't work or doesn't apply, contact
