Jeff, The “Achilles heel “ in the K3 power stages is the 12 watt amplifier which is only conduction cooled. In normal use on SSB/ CW modes it seem to be fine all day at 12 watts out ( 8 watts out

John, This could very likely be an RFI problem, with RF getting into the PTT circuit. I had a similar problem. Try reducing the rf output to A very low value say 1 watt, and see if everything runs

I have lost Audio CODEC audio option in WSJT-X. It was working but no longer in WSJT?Setting/ audio dropdown. How do I restore CODEC for WSJT-X? 73, Jim K7EG

L23 is in the 20/30m low pass filter. The only thing I can imagine could cause it to fail is a very badly mismatched load with just the wrong impedance. It's also possible, of course,

According to the schematic I have, L23 is part of the 20/30 meter output LPF. If it's been overheated I suspect a mismatched load was encountered at some time. Does your problem occur only 30 and/or

Well I was asking anyone if they had a clue about L23, I guess not :-) I will call Elecraft tomorrow… 73 Jeff kb2m

Precisely. Same issue here. The fact that the TX audio "comes back" when WSJT-X is restarted seems to strongly suggest the issue is with WSJT-X. I have the same issue with no transmit audio. This

And the IMD will be awful. Wes N7WS

They are just communicating the general disdain for folks trying to run an auction on and Elecraft group. Set an asking price, and be done with it. This ain't

I remember all of this now. Actually I was running about 7 watts to drive the AMP after I had the PA failure at 100 watts, there were no issues at 7 watts. I was trying to make the point that I was

Running 12 watts on data modes is bad. The low power PA won't withstand that. -de John NI0K Jeffrey griffin wrote on 5/3/2020 12:35 PM:

Agreed hence the ridiculously low bids

I thought “auctions” were not allowed on this site (???) Chas

I see a trend here and it gonna get ugly!

My bid 52$

Last summer I was running more data modes (FT8) when I started having an issue with the 100 watt PA failing with a ERR 12V message. I then did the KP3A power connector replacement. This worked fine

my bid: $51 :-)))))) 73, Martin, OK1RR Dne 03. 05. 20 v 17:05 dean laclair napsal(a):

I was questioning whether the K3 was seeing the KIO3B and not selecting the Line IN but that's probably not the case. 73, ... Joe, W4TV

I was guessing they are probably not accepting stuff for repair but I wanted to find out for sure. Thanks for the suggestions about WSJT-X being the root cause of the no transmit problem, I have

Yes, perhaps not right now 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108) -- I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
