Oops! Yes, the jumpers have to be temporarily replaced while the kxv3 is out.
You should then get RF.

Hi Eric
Thanks for your very quick response.
I have removed the KXV3. It does indeed have the "14704" sticker and Q1 is
marked "7AW" so that is obviously the problem.
You are quite right. The power issue first surfaced at the 50W TX gain
calibration when the actual output was about 70W.
Having reassembled the K3 and set the KXV3 option to not installed I now get no
power out at all. Is this because of jumpers W1 and W2 being removed as part of
the KXV3 installation ? When I engage "tune" I get the ERR TXG message.
No great dramas if the replacement KXV3 board will put everything right.
However I should appreciate your feedback as to whether the K3 should now in
fact be generating RF.
Best regards
Barry Simpson VK2BJ
