Recently purchased a K3 kit. Have noted a couple of bugs. Wonder if
anyone else has seen these:
1) After I put the kit together, while doing the testing, I noted that
if I cycled through the modes via the left side of the mode button
(mode dn), every time it went into AM mode it keyed the TX for a
second or maybe two. Did not do this when pressing the right side of
the mode button (mode up) and going into AM. This was not simply
lighting the TX light. The external power meter confirmed that RF was
being generated. All other changes of mode appeared to be fine.
2) Just now turned the K3 on. Switched to 80m. Mode was CW before and
after the change of bands. After a few seconds I noted there was no
audio coming from the speaker. Switched to 60m (USB), audio. Switched
to 40m (CW), audio. Switched back to 80, no audio. Cycled through the
modes. Audio was heard on LSB, AM, Data, and suddenly audio was heard
on 80m CW. And . . . while cycling through the modes I noted that the
TX was no longer keyed when switching to AM via the mode dn button.
Are these bugs related? Has anyone else seen either of these?
I'd really like to see Elecraft spend the necessary effort to
thoroughly debug the K3 before spending much effort adding features
that only a handful of ops will ever use.
