I believe the OM; query returns the result of the configuration menu settings. The KPA3 menu setting should be "PA NOR".

The positions of the letters are fixed. If a module is not present, its letter is replaced by a dash (-). For example, if only a PA and sub receiver were installed, "OM;" would return "OM -P-S-- ------;". The five dashes at the end are reserved for future module letters. Option List: The letters (and associated positions) in the OM string refer to the following option modules: A = ATU (KAT3), P = PA (KPA3), X = XVTR and RX I/O (KXV3), S = Sub Receiver (KRX3), D = DVR (KDVR3), F = Band-Pass Filter module, main (KBPF3), and f = Band-Pass Filter module, sub (KBPF3). -------------------------------------------------- During initialisation all installed modules are detected ... independent what you have configured If your module is dead i would expect this to be reflected in the OM output. vy 73 Thomas, DM7TN K3/100 #78 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of jmalloy Sent: Thursday, December 24, 2009 1:38 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Problem: ERR 12V and failure(?) of KPA3 In the past few days, I've noticed the KPA3 in my K3 serial number #584 acting "flaky". Well, today it apparently failed -- or maybe I'm missing something (?). No matter what I do, the rig is limited to 12 W (or so it says); I've switched the KPA3 on and off numerous times in software, I've removed and reinserted the KPA3, I've checked the circuit breaker with a VOM out of circuit, I've tried another power supply, and so on. No joy. Before I contact Elecraft I'd like to hear the collective wisdom of the group -- what else can I try to get things working.
