Re: [Elecraft] Fwd: K3 - No Power Out
I've read the the KPA3 install manual and I see what your talking about. I don't have the jumpers, I'll get with elecraft in the morning to see how to handle that.

Friday, last, I replaced the two FET, closest to the back,, on the ten-watt module. Flip K3 over. Take off rear-half of bottom cover. mid-section and aft for the two. Prior to that, when I tried to xmit in any mode on any band other than my three transverters, I got Main Display, bottom, saying 0 W it means the ten-watt-module is fried. Or,, at least in my case, it did. -- Bob KD7YZ http://www.qrz.com/db/KD7YZ www.denstarfarm.us/LGD __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
