Did this problem happen after you connected the amp? I ran into a similar problem. My external Ameritron T/R relay failed and held the amp in transmit. The only way I realized that the amp was stuck in transmit besides the diminished receive was the heat I noticed coming off the amp. I could see the heat rising against the backdrop of the wall. :-) Thank goodness I did not have drive going to the amp that amount of time. I would be buying a brand new pair of 3-500's. I removed the external T/R relay and started using the internal ability of the K3 to trigger the amp.
Besides checking the ideas from the other guys, check your T/R circuitry for your amp. 73, Doug KF4VTT K3 #1289 P3 #371 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Intermittently-loses-gain-tp5690101p5695526.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
