Dick, Even though the FP LCD does not light up, Do you see anything on the display like MCU LD?

It was consistent with the following error messages: E 00005 ERR VCO E 00255 ERR VC4 I ran the test this morning with no error message, however instead of clicking along at a very good clip, it began with the word "busy" and then a slow count up to cal 127 and then to frequency readout normally. I can now hear traffic (net on 3.905 mc)! Well then I got home this evening and found the K3 doa. When I push the "Power" button, there's a bit of a draw on the power supply and I hear a relay clicking, but the front panel will not light and no functions are available. I tried going through the Theory in the manual and scoured the schemagics, but can't figure out the power distribution architecture. This bums me out since I finally got the REF and SYN to play nice and I was getting into listening to ssb net traffic (and the ball game). I have a call in to Aptos, but they're on the other coast and I think they probably went home (if they have any sense). Does anyone on the list have any ideas? ttfn & -- 73, Dick ka1oz Middleborough, MA K3/100(Kit) SN 000859 Titan-DX (to come) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
