I had the same problem two years ago, Chuck. I spent a good bit of time with Gary checking things and ended up sending my K3 to Aptos. Rene looked at it and had it going in a very short time. I had spent a lot of time trying to tune things and had things pretty messed up. My serial number is 1025. Maybe Gary or Rene will remember what they found and be able to help you. I still don't know where I went wrong but Rene said there was nothing wrong with the assembly or any of the parts. Good luck! Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ

For some reason, I¹m unable to receive any kind of signal at all. I have a windom antenna that I plan to erect, but at the moment, I just have have it connected to the radio and then spread out in my shack over bookcases and windows, etc. I probably have about 20 25¹ spread out. Still, I¹m not receiving anything. I¹d like to ask if there is a K3 owner in the Chicago area who could either allow me to bring my radio there, connect to his antenna, and try to do the configuration or someone nearby, perhaps with a 40M dipole who could arrange to broadcast a signal at a specific time, etc. Ideally, I¹d like to bring my rig to your shack and try to configure there. I need to be able to receive WWV, and I need to be sure that my receiver is functioning properly before I install the 100Watt amplifier and the fans. Thanks. 73, Chuck KE9CE K3 #4073 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
