[Elecraft] K3 No power out after idle time

2014-09-29 Thread Jack Berry via Elecraft
This symptom makes me think of edge connector problems I have heard about. But 
in my case there are no low voltage errors that seems to be the case in other 
reports.

If I cycle the radio off and back on everything is good. I think this is the 
third time this has happened, all in the last month. 


The only commonality is that the radio has been on and idle for an hour or two. 
When I return to operate, the problem occurs. I don't think it happens in every 
case.

Any other K3 owners seen this?

Thanks!

 
God Bless & 73!

Hi Jack,

I have had this exact problem. Turned out to be the connector between the
front panel and main pcb. Treatment with Deoxit has cured it.

BTW - I also had some other weird, seemingly unrelated, problems that would
occur randomly. The Deoxit treatment cured all of those as well.
