Dan, It sounds like your PLL Reference oscillator quit working - so --- Tackle Q19 first. Check the resistance from the source to ground - should be close to 270 ohms. If not, check the soldering on R20 and both the lead tinning and soldering of RFC14. Once Q19 is OK, then you can go on to

At a local hamfest Saturday, one of the field testers had the P3 on display. I was very impressed with it, in fact the photos don't do it justice. Colors are very bright and signals are shown in great detail. I think it will be a real winner --- hopefully they will be shipping the product

You may wish to install the IF Output Gain modification, http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/IF_Output_Buffer_Gain_Mod_Rev_A.pdf. This mod has already been installed if your rig was built after about September 2009. It isn't essential, but you'll probably want to do this if you have a P3. The mod
