[Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting (solved)

A couple of weeks ago I posted that my K3 suddenly stopped transmitting during ARRL CW. The PTT would enable, it was not in TEST mode, the CW monitor would sound, but no output. Pushing the TUNE button would result in "0 watts" showing on the display. The problem persisted after I power cycled

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

No TX power is a common problem, especially on DXpeditions. Other than power supply issues, it is usually one of three things: 1. Intending to use the BAND button, one holds down the right MODE button by mistake, putting the K3 into TX TEST mode. The "TX" icon flashes. But, since you

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

I did try the "drop" test- hold up the front of the radio a little bit, and then drop it so that it contacts the table. Kinda shake things up a bit. No luck. When I also brought it home, I put it in the case, drove it 72 miles back to my house, brought it in, and set it up 2 days later. So it

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

First thing I did- and the first thing I do whenever I have any funny happen- is to cycle power. I did so several times. It still wouldn't transmit. UE On 3/9/2017 9:00 AM, Ed Muns wrote: When it was not transmitting and you were troubleshooting, did you cycle power? 73, Ed W0YK On Mar 9,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

I had a similar event last October in the New York QSO Party with my K3, s/n67xx. After the first QSO (from a beautiful overlook in Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan) it simply stopped putting out RF. It went into transmit, just no RF. I tried power cycling, jiggling external connectors, etc. After

When it was not transmitting and you were troubleshooting, did you cycle power? 73, Ed W0YK On Mar 9, 2017 5:54 AM, Dennis wrote: > > In the middle of ARRL DX CW, my K3 stopped transmitting.  It did not > shut off, it > would go into transmit and there were small

[Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

Hi Dennis, I am certain you checked for this issue but my first thought would be that you had a power supply issue or power cable issue. 73, John WB4YAL __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft

[Elecraft] K3 Stops Transmitting

In the middle of ARRL DX CW, my K3 stopped transmitting. It did not shut off, it would go into transmit and there were small flickers in ALC when the meter was in that position, but no power out. Pushing the TUNE button resulted in the display saying "0 watts". I played with it for several
