Re: [Elecraft] [K3} P3 Failure? fixed!

Dick,

No, it's a hardware jumper.  See the "Configuration" section (page 24)
of the P3 Manual.

Alan N1AL,

 (If you have the power-on jumper in the P3 configured to always-on, )

I don't remember reading a reference to 'the power-on jumper'.  I do remember 
something in the menu settings.  Is this what you are referring to?

Dick, n0ce

  Thanks, Alan!  That did the trick. (actually, I found that procedure in 
  the P3 manual).
  I wish I had written down the transfer gain that I had setup during my 
  amplitude calibration a year or two back.

  The gain is set to -7 dB now, which I believe is the factory default.

  I t was strange, though, tuning the bands for even a few minutes without 
  the P3.  I hadn't realized how much I have grown to depend on it!

  73 & thanks again.
