Last week, I sought help on this reflector in relation to the ERR 12V
problem that my K3 had developed.
The several replies I received from three different continents all pointed
me the same way and Elecraft confirmed the diagnosis.
I ordered the parts on 22 December and they arrived in today's p
Thank you to everyone who replied with advice on my problem.
The advice all points one way so I will have a look at the KPA power
connection pins over the holiday period and then do the necessary repair
with replacemnt pins from Elecraft as required - or just hardwire them as
per one suggestion.
I also have an early K3, ser nr apprx 400 earlier than yours. I got the
ERR 12V fault a couple of months ago. As others have mentioned it was
the KPA pins. They were not corroded so much as discolored. I replaced
them and the two front panel connectors at the same time.
There's a good blogpos
Barry,
Contact Elecraft support and request the Gold Pins kit.
Also obtain E560002 which is the KPA3 12V Sense Modification.
You might want to consider other updates to the K3. See the website
listing for Spare Parts and Mod Kits for the K3. Click on "Order" to
get there.

Good Morning, Barry:
Sounds like a problem that raised its head quite a while back with
corrosion of the 12V pins on the KPA3 connector. I am not near my rig
and info at the moment so I can't confirm that.
73 and Happy Holidays,
Ken K3IU

I have an early model K3 s/n 1397 which I built and which I upgraded around
12 months ago with the new synthesizers etc.
It has the second receiver and numerous filters in both receivers.
I have never had a moment's trouble with it since the original build in
around 2009 and since the big upgrade
