K3 won't TX

[JAY-3]

Hi Folks,
I brought my K3 to Florida for the winter. I turned it on and it won't TX
 RX is fine except for the QRN nothing I can do about that.
Any ideas for the TX problem?

Not sure what you mean by "won't TX" but a couple of things you might check:

-- is it in TX Test mode

-- is the proper antenna selected.  K3's won't make RF into an open
circuit.  You can ask me how I know that, a humbling experience with
Wayne on the phone

-- If you're on CW, is VOX on?

-- If you're on SSB, is PTT properly connected for your mic?

And check the TX INH if you've been messing around in the Config Menu.
