Hi folks;
Yes, I really love my K3 in spite of my questions and gripes; here they are:
1. During the 10 meter contest, I was up around 28.400 operating SSB
with the NB on, when I noticed that I was getting a strong CW
signal pumping my AGC (or so it seemed).
In doing a little research, I found the cw station responsible was
down at 28.023, at about S9+40 db; by call, I know the station and
that he is about 3 miles away. Far enough and weak enough that I
should not be receiving this sort of interference I think, given
there are no key clicks, etc.
I turn off the NB, and it clears up completely, even 500Hz away,
let alone 300 or 400 KHz away. I go back up, no problem except I
want to use the NB; turn it back on, problem re-appears.
This seems to be an artifact of how the NB is implemented,
rendering it useless under these sorts of circumstances.
Am I missing something, out of adjustment, or ???
2. The power switch - early serial number (1476); my power switch -
well the rubber / plastic part you press on - is starting to look
like a mouse has nibbled on it, with little divots falling off
along the top and right side edges. It is looking quite ragged.
Has anyone else had this, or know if I can replace just the
rubber/plastic part, or do I need to replace the entire switch
assembly?
Thanks and 73 de Dave, W5SV
