K3 Help

Chuck N7BV
We are doing the CQWWRTTY and my K3 might have over-heated producing
multiple problems.

1.   The MON level suddenly increased until the level was unbearable.
Turning MON down to 1 made it bearable.   The hung up in TX.   Finally
turned the K3 off which cleared these problems.

2.   We lost all signals (thought it was a SID at first).   There was
an err "C .555".   Now know this was the formula for F to C.   Temp
was C-41 at the time.

3.   We now have an "ERR VCO E  00189" after trying to calibrate the
VCO.    

4.   The RF output is down to 12W, which seems to indicate the 100w
amp is not working.   Have checked the ckt-breaker on the back, which
appears good.

Thanks.

73, Chuck   N7BV
