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?

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 (r...@aol.com)
