K3 Transmitter

[Bill Thompson]

My K3 is not transmitting.  When I try to transmit, the red tx light comes on, but there is no forward or reflected power.  I do not have any ERR messages.  I am using the 2.8 MHZ filter for both transmit and receive.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill  AA4MJ

Run through the wattmeter and TX gain calibration steps and try again. I had
this same problem.

Have you accidentally enabled TEST mode (indicated by blinking TX on the LCD display)?

This can also happen if TX INH is enabled in the menu and nothing is connected to the TX
INH accessory input.

Have you tried power down/up ( the pc techs best friend ).  

What does your power output say when you rotate the PWR knob slightly?

Good luck
