ISSUE: When the Power Output is increased over 12 watts the receiver sensitivity decreases several S-Units and power output goes to Zero.

So I'm wondering if this could be something besides dead finals?
TR switch diodes (one or more of D7, D8, D9, D1) on the LPA3?

Hi Guys,
  I've tried the rest and still love my K3S the best!  However, K3S Serial #11797 has 
developed a serious issue and Elecraft service is back logged 8 weeks so I'd appreciate 
your thoughts on getting my K3S repaired  ISSUE: When the Power Output is increased over 
12 watts the receiver sensitivity decreases several S-Units and power output goes to 
Zero.  I realize this sounds like the dreaded KPA3A "dead finals" issue but I'm 
surprised that the receiver sensitivity drops like it does.  So I'm wondering if this 
could be something besides dead finals? Also, any recommendations for K3S repair service 
other than Elecraft?  I love Elecraft Service but I don't want to wait 8 weeks plus 
shipping time for repair. Thanks in advance for your recommendations! 73, Dick- K9OM
