K3 output power falls

[Dave Moorman]

Maximum power output on my K3 dropped to 12 watts, for no discernible reason.   Any handy hints about what might cause this?  I haven’t yet taken it apart to check voltages, etc.

Hi Dave,

Check CONFIG:KPA3.  It should be PA nor.

Cheers,

Thanks for the pointer, Fred.  With the book open to p.165, plus a couple of other menu adventures, I was able to get the K3 working like it should.  Don’t know how the settings were scrambled - something of a mystery.  

Best regards -
