Well, science provides predictions and suggests outcomes but I'm still a
hopeless romantic who tunes the bands in spite of the numbers. Tonight
I found a completely dead 20M band at 0220Z except for a single CW QSO
in progress between WB6UIA (QRZ says Wyoming) and XE2HOE in Baja

No need to great expense here - look at a set of the new Raspberry Pi. With a
case <$40 each.
Plenty of CPU power in them - plus Cat 5 & Wifi as and 4 usb ports. If you have
a microUSB power supply then a decent SDcard (level 10) and you are all set.

John,
Yes, the "earthing" connection to the SO-239 jacks is important.
That connection is provided by the mechanical connection to the standoff
between the right side panel and the KAT3.
The assembly manual instructions will provide adequate connection -
first insert the side panel screw throug
Enzio,
See page 28 of the KX3 manual.
If you must go "wireless", then some sort of computer at each location
will be required. But if you can go wired, then a 'null-modem' cable is
all that is necessary.

I think you are correct, no "standard" test procedure is possible
because it would not account for all installed options, filter
assignments, and other configurable aspects of the K3/K3S.
I would however suggest that one could use a procedure similar to what I
use for a K2.

The lack of a full functional test is more likely due to it not being
profitable AND being overkill. Generally if it works then it just works.
I'm still thinking it through, however, the process doesn't require complex
test gear as it's a functional testing of all features/modules of the radio.

You probably won't.
The K3 or K3S is put in a test fixture and run for 24 hours before being
shipped after assembly, repair and/or upgrades.
I just talked to Elecraft in the last week about one of my K3s I had in for
upgrades and was told it would ship a day after being put in a test fixture

Thanks for the suggestions Ron. There is no registered output for cw or ssb
on 2 meters. There is good output on FM on 10 meters, so the filter is not
the problem. I will pop the top and check the TMP'. Hopefully that is where
the issue lies. 73 ..mike AI6II

An idle thought. Are you sure the cables are all seated properly into the
xvrtr? It is not difficult to think you have the TMP cables seated only to
find that all you've done is force the center contact in the jack backwards ...
so that it becomes intermittent or open. Easy to spot and fix ...
Apparently it is an intermittent problem. Originally receive seemed to work
fine, but not now. And then just now I was able to pick up a transmission
from the K3 on my handheld, working just as it was supposed to. But then it
didn't work anymore.
