Hmmm, HRO doesn't sell Elecraft, can't get in on the Elecraft action, ergo, blame the K3. Sounds about right. OTOH, it's easy to put a 20 dB pad ahead of your K3 and check his signal again. That should give a good idea of what is really going on. 73, de Nate, N0NB >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
