A follow-up;
While I still would like to buy an excess KAT3A for my K3 & if you have one, please contact me off-list. It turns out my KAT3A is now working perfectly at this time Before I packed it up to send back for repair I looked at the socket and noticed they were not gold pins, only the male pins on the main board are gold. I doubt there would be corrosion so soon but what's to lose? I dripped some Deoxit 100 in and let it set a few minutes, then squirted regular 15% deoxit with its 85% lube, cleaned and reinstalled it. The KAT3A is now working perfectly on 160 again and as before, all the other bands are also working. I emailed Elecraft to let them know I don't need the RMA and won't be sending it in. Glad they were there and willing had I needed to get it repaired. 73 all, Gary KA1J > Looks like I need a replacement KAT3A > tuner.
