K3 ERR TXG

Rowland-8
I have installed my Xmas present  the KPA3 into K3 36
All seems to be OK apart from an error message, ERR TXG on the 30m band
only.
Other bands seem OK and acting as should.
When trying to transmit into a dummy load 50Ohm  I get no power out and
hear a 200Hz or so whine coming from the rig.

The manual says that usually indicates a problem with band-pass foilter
alignment or one of the low pass filters. See Service manual.

Anyone any ideas please.
I guess elecraft tech help not available today.

Thanks
Rowland

As per owners manual

Transmit gain constant out of range.
This usually indicates a problem with band-pass filter alignment or one of
the low-pass filters. In either case it could affect one or two bands. See
service manual.
