I wouldn't go so far as to call them "dolts" -- Elecraft *is* currently running far behind reasonable expectations for turnaround time, and asking for an update is a reasonable response to that. I'm happy to cut them some slack, and I hope others will be as well, but it's a lot easier to do that

Given what I have read on the reflector, try calling. There are so may impatient dolts, I can understand there situation. All the stupid "when will I get mine" I am sure have bogged down their inbox. Not to say phone messages aren't as well. But who knows Bill K9YEQ -Original

Hi Brian, Thank you for the suggestions, and the tidbits of the additional steps for add on items like new synths, etc. I have saved your email. I have sent Elecraft three seperate email requests across three weeks, and gotten precisely zero replies from supp...@elecraft.com address...

Dave, There have also been numerous component adds/mods over the years. Three that I did a couple years ago are 1. Increase the 12vdc accessory power from 500 ma to 1 A. Evidence is a 1A sticker on the rear of the K3. 2. Add a capacitor to the KPA3 to eliminate fan noise pickup evident after

Dave, The menu settings would be a good place to start, confirmed by taking the cover off.  One receiver is covered by the other, so some disassembly is required for the visual of the filters.  Then tuner, which i/o board etc. For the P3, the options are the SVGA board and the TX board.

Just some notes for future folks reading this. I always replace D1 and Q6 together. Other notes re Q6 and D1; 1. Poor RX on 24 and 28Mhz 12m 10M only and TX gain is OK. Q6 a 2N7002, OR D1  on the LPA can Suck the RX down on these two bands!! 2. Slow ramp up of TX power output. Typically worse
