K3 - Loss of Output

[k1tl]

Hi Gang,

 

Was doing the New England WX Net this AM on 75m and all of a sudden, NO
OUTPUT...hmmm!

 

I put it into PA By-pass and still nothing.  I can hear the tone in another
RX whether on PA or by-pass but NADA on the watt meter.

 

Before I send it to the "Mother Ship", I was wondering if this could be the
infamous PA connector pin issues ?  PA temp @ 25C which is ambient temp of
the room ATM.

K3 s/n 00184.

 

HELP !

73

Tom/K1TL...

Tom,

The PA voltage connector pin problem will normally result in an ERR 12V
message.

It sounds like something has just gotten "mixed up".

Do you have a saved configuration file for that K3?  If so, you may want
to try doing a Reset to Factory Defaults (EEINIT)and then restore the
configuration file from K3 Utility.  If you do not have a saved
configuration file, you will have to install all the options manually
and go through the calibration procedures.
