Last week, I sought help on this reflector in relation to the ERR 12V problem that my K3 had developed.
The several replies I received from three different continents all pointed me the same way and Elecraft confirmed the diagnosis. I ordered the parts on 22 December and they arrived in today's post late morning. This afternoon, I undertook the necessary repairs involving partial replacement of one of the KPA3 power connectors. The progress was slightly impeded as I found that my Hako 808 desoldering tool, which I had not used for several years, no longer worked. Thus I was reduced to using my soldering iron and a small manual vacuum solder sucker. I got there eventually ! The rig went back together without difficulty and has passed the initial test into a dummy load with flying colours, maximum power being achieved on all bands. Tomorrow I will put it back into one of my operating positions. Thanks to all who provided help and advice, to Elecraft with their super fast response and to the US Postal Service and Australia Post who both excelled over the Christmas period.
