I have a K3 in the 3000 serial number range that I built from a kit originally.
This last year the audio has been cutting out after playing at a high level for
a while on the internal speaker.It gets kind of crispy sounding like you were

Not quite sure what's going on here; have had the K3 in storage for
about 4 months. Finally unpacked it after our move to PA and set it
up, and now audio is cutting in and out; as if it would just mute for
a few seconds (sometimes 4-5 secs) then come back to a normal level.
I'm wondering if the RF

Hi Eric,
No, squelch is wide open. It was cutting out on SSB, FM, AM, etc.
For what it's worth, it isn't doing it anymore! Strange... I wonder
if lightning in the distance was causing the overload circuitry to
kick in. Is it possible?

Unlikely. If it is activated, you get a 'Hi RFI' message on the VFO B
display.

Can any contacts have gotten corroded internally and perhaps after the
unit warms up, a better contact is made due to thermal expansion?
Reason I ask, I noticed that the screws on my K3 have begun to rust
while sitting in storage.
