Does anyone know when the connectors were changed? Date or serial number? Easy to tell if the connectors should be updated? Haven't seen the problem here. But would like to plan or take care of the problem while I have the time and not when I am in an off-shore location. Tnx 73, N2TK, tony #311 #1435

I wonder if there different types of connectors out there that are perhaps less prone to what we are seeing? Just sitting here pondering listening to the static on 40M which is enough to get the mind wandering...:-) 73 Gary VK4FD - Motorhome Mobile Elecraft Equipment K3 #679, KPA-500 #018 Living the dream!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: GW0ETF To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, December 12, 2011 6:42 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 12v ERR - Deoxit Due to an ordering misunderstanding I have 2 different Deoxit versions, standard cleaner and Deoxit Gold. According to the instructions the cleaner cleans(!) and the Gold is applied post cleaning to prevent any subsequent oxidation/tarnishing. Wonder which everyone's using..? Not had any problems with the PA module on K3 #145 but plenty with the front panel connections which Deoxit fixes..... 73, Stewart, GW0ETF w0mu wrote > > I believe you can also purchase a can of deoxit and spray it liberally > on the pins and connector side and carefully plug and unplug the board a > few times. > > Mike W0MU > > W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net > > -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-K3-12v-ERR-tp7084750p7085408.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
