Not necessarily. He said he worked with factory support on the telephone before they said to ship it back. I've found them to be quite helpful and knowledgeable. Eric asked earlier what kind of microphone he was using. That was my first thought, like no bias on an electret, but if this wasn't already determined by tech support then there should be some corrective action taken.
I recently had a friend come to my shack with a brand new K3 that didn't transmit at all, although it received perfectly. He thought that perhaps he hadn't loaded the firmware correctly. I loaded it and we then compared his to mine, parameter by parameter and found nothing wrong, except that it still failed to transmit, of course. It was a weekend so calling for help wasn't an option. He did later and it was finally determined that the KREF3 board was bad. Failures happen. --- On Wed, 4/20/11, David Gilbert <xda...@cis-broadband.com> wrote: > > That's kind of a premature question isn't it? > > Looking forward to your future post identifying what the > problem turns > out to be .... > > Dave AB7E > > > > On 4/20/2011 10:03 AM, Scott McDowell wrote: > > Hello > > Has anyone besides me recieved a factory built > k3/100/F that had no, (like in zero), > > output in the ssb mode.
