This has been a very interesting thread for me. I too am a very satisfied elecraft customer, mainly as a result of EXCELLENT service. I have a T1, SG3, KX3, PX3, K3s, SP3, KPA500 and KAT500.
When the KX3 was about 10 months old I noticed that a couple of the yellow painted letters on the face plate were popping off. The faceplate was quickly replaced. My KPA500 had a very unusual fault in that 4 of the PEM nuts in the bottom chassis plate were the wrong thread size. Once diagnosed the bottom plate was quickly replaced I I rebuilt the amplifier. After about 6 months I turned on the station and keyed a couple of “dits” on the paddle and the KPA500 blew the tops off of both output FETS. Elecraft quickly had a replacement power module on the way to me. This week I finally figured out that a distorted SSB audio report I received since I built the K3s as really present only when using more than 12 watts output. Whenever the KPA3A kicked in there was a noticeable distortion on my signal. You guessed it, a replacement KPA3A module was in the mail and should arrive this Wednesday, Their service is excellent and I am a VERY SATISFIED customer. My wife’s comment, on learning that I was waiting for another replacement part, was “you certainly seem to have a lot of problems with that stuff”. Go figure :) Oh yeah, I am also a MAC lover :) Very 73 - Mike - K9JRI > On Aug 6, 2018, at 12:40 PM, Gary Smith <g...@ka1j.com> wrote: > > Between my recent orders to upgrade my > Backup K3 and my recent service (update) > to my K3s which just returned today, I > want to thank anyone from Elecraft who may > read this. > > My K3s was attended to quickly and > returned in marvelous condition and thank > you for the updates.
