After working on some (not all) of the K3(s) boards myself, I suspect there will be a range of talents on different boards and equipment. I've worked on the KIO3(B) boards, the KPA500 daughter card and power supply, and the KPA1500 (all) so far with success. Know my way around them very well... and know the symptoms and fixes.

In the absence of Elecraft supporting these older boards (as I stated in my first post, when I asked Elecraft to repair my KIO3 they declined), it would be great if we could compile a small database of people like yourself willing and able to do proper repair ... for a reasonable fee, of course. If somebody was willing to do this on a regular basis, I suspect that many of us would be willing to simply donate older/excess boards. I have a couple that I would. 73, Dave AB7E On 11/27/2021 9:30 AM, Dr. William J.
