No Power Output

[KB1PXD]

Hello everyone,
as of last evening, my K3 is no longer indicating any
power output on the RF meter during transmit.  I've
tried both PTT and VOX, as well as 2 different antennas.
(dipole & beam)  When selecting "ATU TUNE", I see the
RF meter go to 5W as expected, but the SWR indicator
above only displays "- -".  I've gone through all the settings
and they look correct.  The PWR knob is fully clockwise,
I'm not in test mode, etc., etc.  I've sent an email to Elecraft
but I thought I'd check here as well to see if anyone has
seen this behavior.  

Thanks,
- Bill

Bill,

Had the same thing once.
Reloaded the firmware and that solved the problem here.

Thanks for the quick response Arie.  I tried upgrading
my firmware from 2.67 to 2.78 but I'm still seeing the
same results. (RF meter remains at 0 when transmitting)

I apologize if this sounds like I am suggesting the obvious,
but you didn't happen to accidentally put it in "test" mode
did you?  Press and hold the right side of the mode button
to return to "operating" mode.  Just a thought.
