All,
Thanks for the tips and help. It looks like my problem was just a
bad/corrodued connection in the radio. After I removed the covers and
reseated the 100 Watt amp, and other modules and cables everything
appears to be working normal.
Thanks!

Yes, I get 13.9 on the radio readout no key, and 13.8 full power
FSK (only 60-70 watts now). 10gauge wire only 1.5ft long.

Gordon,
Have you verified that your power supply and DC power cable
are delivering full voltage to your K3 when the K3 is set to deliver
110 watts output? This is a frequent cause

Chet,
Thanks! Please send me the notes, I will look at the problem
closer. I don't know if the problem is the low power amp or the 100
watt amp yet.
I should be able to fix it, I built a K2 from scratch and have repaired
other radios.

Hi Gordon,
I had some power problems with my K3 a few months ago, and could not get any
useful help by e-mailing support, but with the kindness of others on the
Elecraft owners lists I was able to troubleshoot and repair it on my own. One
of the power MOSFETs in the low power amp section had
