[K3] internal 144MHz xvrtr - no output

[mike]

Thanks for the suggestions Ron. There is no registered output for cw or ssb
on 2 meters. There is good output on FM on 10 meters, so the filter is not
the problem. I will pop the top and check the TMP'. Hopefully that is where
the issue lies. 73  ..mike  AI6II

After upgrading my K3 with some of the new boards from the K3S,
I tested my K144XV module by hitting the local repeater (about
1.5 miles from my roof mounted antenna). It came back to me so I
assumed everything was OK.

Then my wife (KI6SLX) acted as net control using the K3.
Everyone thought she was very scratchy. I hooked up a power/SWR
meeter to the antenna feed and it showed almost no power output.
I opened up the radio, reseated the TMP connectors, and the
power came back to normal.

Moral: Watch those TMP connectors.
