You were right Guy. My rig ran fine all day yesterday and then last
night I had the same problem. Opened it up and used some needle-nose
pliers on the TMP connectors to twist and push. I was able to insert a
couple a little further and found one was only about half inserted.
Maybe I have it this time!

The outer shell of the TMP plug can be connected without being fully
inserted into the TMP connector. This can result in an intermittent on
the center conductor that comes and goes with temperature change, or
breathing hard, or changes in phases of the moon. The little flanges
on the TMP plug should be nearly up to the TMP connector shell when
fully inserted.
In my experience, myself and those around here who call for help, this
is a common trouble.
You could still be not fully inserted.

I'm posting this for future reference in case someone else has
this problem.
Yesterday while listening to my K3 it suddenly quit receiving any
signals. I also had no RF output. There were no error messages.
I have two KSYN3A modules in my rig. I did a search and found a
post by W1ZK in September who had the same symptoms. He posted he
had a bad synthesizer. When I checked the DISP SYN1 and SYN2 both
showed OK so I didn't think I had a bad synthesizer.
Before calling Elecraft this afternoon I removed the top to see if
I might have a loose TMP cable on one of the synthesizers. None
were loose but I did give a twist to the ones I could easily
reach. When I hooked the K3 back up it was working again.
Apparently there was a bit of tarnish/corrosion on one of the
connectors and I twisted the right one.
Hopefully it will keep working!
