Re: [Elecraft] TMp Cable and Allen Wrench Envelope

2009-10-28 Thread Gary Hinson
 I am a proud new owner of a K3, which was handcarried by a 
 friend to Europe. After a week or so he sent me two little 
 envelopes, one with a TMP cable, one with a Allen wrench. I 
 couldn't find a hint what to do with these little parts, are 
 they a sparepart/tool for just in case or did I miss 
 something and they are needed to bring the nice new toy up to 
 speed? Maybe somebody can tell me, please.

That cable is for inserting the mojo.

The Allen wrench is needed to remove the VFO knob to reveal the secret
mojo input connector.

Please do not share this information with non-Elecrafties.

Welcome to the family, Franz.

73,
Gary  ZL2iFB

Thank you, Doug, that gave me all the info I needed. I have the BNC-connector 
installed, so I will leave it for later, just in case...
Thank you and 73s de Franz, DK1ii

 Franz:  You didn't indicate whether or not you have the KRX3 subreceiver
 installed in your K3.  If you do there are two ways to connect the KRX3 to
 an antenna.  Ref the Main and SubReceiver Antenna Routing section in the
 K3 Owner's Manual  (pg 40 - 42 in my Rev D1 version).
 
 If the spare TMP cable is 12 long then it is likely to be used for an
 optional setup for the KRX3 Antenna Input.  Ref the Auxiliary KRX3 Antenna
 Input (Optional) section of the KRX3 Installation and Operation Manual, pg
 24 in my  Rev C version).  The spare 12 TMP cable is used to connect the
 KRX3 to its antenna via the KAT3 Antenna Tuner.   Ref the Installing KRX3
 AUX RF (ANT) Connector section in the K3 Assembly Manual  (pg 19 in my Rev
 F version).  The 12 TMP cable is not used if the KRX3 AUX RF (ANT) BNC
 Connector  has been installed, but is included in the kit if you wish to
 change the wiring configuration later.
 
 As to the Allen keys - there should be two supplied with the kit.  The large
 one is for the set screws on the two main VFO knobs (A  B), the smaller one
 is for the set screw on all the other smaller knobs.
 
 Hope that helps and enjoy your new K3.
