[Elecraft] K3x Reliability? How many have been returned for repair?
What is the average cost of repair? This is for radio problems/failures not for operator damage. *From: Gerald Capodieci (kd6et) Woodland Hills, CA USA* __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] Field repairs to K3s
Thanks Paul: You have some wonderful luck. I bought a Tentec Eagle and Omni 7 and both failed within 2 years. I opened both to look for problems. though both were labeled ‘Made in USA’ most components were labeled ‘Made in China’ and are no longer available. For both repairs they need to be shipped back to Tennessee to their shop now employing a part time repair person. Reading the forums, reliable repairs are questionable. So I’m about ready to give up on the hobby.

[Elecraft] Field repairs to K3s
Where do I look to see how to troubleshoot a K3s at the shack and just order the new parts. I'm looking to buy a radio that does not need to be sent back to the manufacturer for basic repairs. I'd also like to buy a radio from a USA or North American company for support.

[Elecraft] K2 Twins, Side by side Transmitter and Receiver
For the bench Ham this option would make construction and operation easier by simplifying the front panel. Perhaps the receiver then be more 'general coverage'. Many hams like me already have a transceiver containing a crappy receiver portion and would love to upgrade to a good receiver. Jerry __ Yahoo!
