Hi Pete,
Vlad, N3CZ did a good job on a buddy’s rig last year with quick turn around.
Check with him at QRZ address. He’s in Asheville, NC. Maybe a bit far for you
but put him on the list if you don’t find anyone closer.

I posted about this some time ago, but now I think it's time to get it fixed.
In a nutshell, the 2N7002 driver of the Key Out line on my K3 failed
explosively (it drives a much bigger IRF1630 MOSFET that does the actual
switching). Some combination of my ham-handed attempts to clear out the debris
and mount a new surface-mount 7002 resulted in the destruction of the mounting
pads for it on the bottom of the main circuit board. So now I'm faced with
using a leaded 7002 and connecting it to the appropriate places. Here's the
schematic:
The trace going to the IRF1630 is on the top of the board.
I'm looking to pay a technician with the necessary skills and K3 experience to do what I
can't. I will drive the rig to you within 100 miles or so of Baltimore when you're ready
and wait for it to be fixed - I'm assuming I can function as your "queue" and
minimize my down-time this way.
Anyone out there?
