Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 Value (for insurance)
Replacement would be a K4 right? So I would say a K4 with sub rcvr and Kat if the K3 has them.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Issue
I had the same issue and it was a bad connection on the TMP cables. I just reseated all of them and all has been OK for me. I hope I didn't just jinx it.

[Elecraft] Elecraft W2 problem
Hi I have an Elecraft W2 and a HF 2kW coupler which I have a couple of issues with and appreciate any thoughts. #1 - When pressing the Range button the range cycles from 20 W to Auto. When on Auto it defaults to 20 W until transmitting. When in the 20W range (or Auto) all of the SWR leds and the first power led light up. #2 - When cycling through the ranges it skips the 2 W range. I reversed the cable and reloaded the firmware with no issues, Here is a link to a viedo showing what i am talking about. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AtLmO2vBrPixk394MqxJ7BkwiV0w?e=2acerw I appreciate any thoughts. -- Mike Stokes KK9V __ 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

[Elecraft] K3 Gold Pins
I am looking at picking up another K3. Does anyone know what SN# Elecraft started using the gold plated pins ? The owner has no idea.

[Elecraft] KXV3 question
I bought a used K3 and found that the lower right screw that holds the KXV3t against the rear chassis had fallen out during shipping. I took it apart and found the lock washer and nut. Figure 10 in the manual shows that there should be a spacer attached to the KXV3. The space is there on the top left mounting hole, but not the lower right one. There is no evidence that it was ever one soldered to it. My concerns are 1) Is the space still somewhere in side the radio causing very bad things when I power it up. 2) Without this spacer the KXV3 starts to flex if tightened to much an the KXV3 may short against .the rear plate. If not tightened enough it will vibrate loose again. Can anyone confirm that this spacer should have been on both mounting wholes ? Here is a link to pics of each mounting hole. https://1drv.ms/u/s!ANLmO2vBrPixiTQ 73 Mike Stokes KK9V __ 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
