Since the PowerPole soldering issue was raised .....
I found the short black jumper wires soldered to the
two antenna connector SO-239's were poorly done.
Both had about 3/8" of exposed center conductor
soldered into the connectors and at an angle.
No matter though ... I replaced both with lovely BNC
SO-239 replacement kits from Oak Hills Research.
I use Pomona BNC patch cords for almost everything
here and so the change was "a natural". I did rework
the male pin ends of the two wires and added shrink
tubing over the solder connections on both ends of the
wires
Maybe this is the first after market mod to a K3. (:-))
