Call Elecraft about the knobs. This is a common problem and they replace free.

Jeff and Joe,
I am one of the DRAWS hat "early adopters". Yes, it will take some harness
wiring but it was easy. The miniDIN6 cable wiring is pin to pin "IKYA

configuring flrig to key the radio model of choice or use th
Hello Dave,
"Why?" is the big question. I have no idea why it fell off. There is
nothing that sticks out to invite damage. That RJ-11 receptacle is
hidden underneath the P3. There are six surface mount solder connections
to the board, and there are two small metal inserts in the plastic

I've seen that. Does putting your hand on top of the P3 change it any? Mine
did. Anyway it seems to be related to the BNC cable to the K3. I put a new
cable in and jiggled it some and it went away. If it comes back l'll build my
own cable with quality connectors and double shielded cable. YMMV
The coax cable supplied with the P3 at some period in time was known to be
faulty.

The quality of the coax is usually good, but it is the connectors that
give trouble. If you cut off the connectors and use Amphenol connectors
you will usually have a 'quality' cable.

That's why I say "in most installations, more connectors usually equal
more problems". Mechanical-electro connectors are the weak link in
most all systems.
I've never burned any coax, but I sure have fried a few connectors to

Michael,
It all depends on a lot of things.
My personal "rule of thumb" is that I will pay up to 2/3 of the new
price for a used transceiver.

built and the level of any upgrades.
