Many thanks to Mike Flowers, K6MKF, NCDXC ("It's about DX!"), who calmed
me down to do the step by step troubleshooting for this issue. And
thanks to several others who offered even the smallest suggestion.
To describe the circumstances: K3S->KPA->KAT->ANT
When opening the station Monday evening, the KPA was producing no
output. I had attempted to work an easy QSO for me, but called for
several minutes before I noticed the power was at zero. Nothing out of
the KPA.
As I went through my usual "what happened now", which means "what
happened last year that looked like this" I tried the K3S TUNE to see if
I was in a band segment that hadn't been recently updated. But, the K3S
showed it was outputting 25 WATTS with an SWR of 11-15:1 - unlikely.
And the KAT was making no attempt to tune. And the KPA still had zero
output.
Long story, in hours, short after determining the K3S was fine, then the
K3S->KAT were fine and then the KPA was not, I retested the reconnected
KPA after resetting the CONFIG using EDIT+ON at power-up and things are
back to operation.
Thank you Mike, thank you everyone else, and thank you Elecraft for the
EDIT+ON option.
See you in CQWW! 73, Byron
