Just a gentle reminder: the vast majority of issues are not in the Elecraft equipment. Great gobs of personal time and frustration are saved by looking FIRST to the mechanical, then third-party adjunct programs, then to the manual (I know, I know, everyone HATES to read the manual).
If you are new to Elecraft equipment, then the order is FIRST to the manual, then to the mechanical, then to third-party adjunct programs. Get a PDF copy of the manual, so you can use the search facities of the FREE Adobe Reader to find stuff quickly in the manual. Suffer with the manual for a few months. Ignore the headaches, PTSD, bleeding from the ears, and mental illness issues reading the manual may cause. They are temporary and will go away in a few years. If you think about it, the K3 firmware has been undergoing continuous high stress field testing and bug-fixing since 2008. Should one really reasonably expect the K3 firmware to be sloppy at this point? Good luck on all your issues, and may you please figure them out quicker than I do :>) 73, Guy K2AV.
