K3 - No RX/TX

[Colin Thomas]

Hi all,

Before I bother the good people at Elecraft support I would like some
thoughts on the above problem.

I have bulit and used K3 s/no 8943 for the past 8 months or so but a couple
of days ago it stopped both transmitting and receiving.   Yes I do have an
antenna on it and my old FT1000MP works fine.

I have updated the firmware and carried out all the usual tests without
success.   A reset and a check through both the Menu and Config reveals
nothing obvious and TX Test shows TX normal.   Pressing TUNE shows 0 W.

Keyer works, sidetone works, I have AF but no RF.

Ideas please.

Kudos to Howard at Elecraft support for immediately shipping out a new
KSYN3A board.

Hopefully it'll arrive in time for Christmas - UK Customs permitting.
