K3 Power Output issue

Allen Brier N5XZ
My K3 s/n 2324 has developed a problem with its output power. It is very
non-linear especially between 12 and say about 50 watts. Output is low until
about there and I do not get full output on some bands, for example I can
only get about 35 watts now on 6m. I have attempted to do the TX Gain
Calibration but is always fails. Elecraft tech support has advised me to try
the "three finger test" to test the KLPA3. I may have access to the PA board
of another K3.wondering if I could just swap them out to determine if that
is where the problem is??
