K3 No RF output

gregg.w6izt1
I am getting 0 RF output from my K3 on all bands regardless of the commanded
power level. Pressing the TX button results in -- where the SWR would
normally be displayed.

Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this issue are greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Gregg w6izt

It means TX Inh(ibit) has been activated.  Check your menu setting.

Gregg, did you accidentally put your rig into test mode?  Are the antennas
connected?

Good luck finding the problem source.

Looks like I lost a PIN diode in the TR switch, I've ordered replacements.


Thanks to all who replied.
