I have a KXPA100 amp. I am trying to mount it. The manual says - "The bushings are threaded for 8-32 screws. Do not use screws that extend inside the amplifier more than 1/8" (3.2 mm)." I bought some 8-32 thumb screws from AMAZON and they are too small. Did AMAZON do me wrong, or are t

If the frequency display at the top center of the P3 screen is reading zero, then that implies there is something wrong with the RS-232 connection between the K3 and the P3.  Recheck the connections on page 5 of the P3 manual: https://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/Manuals%20Downloads/E740152%20P3%20Owne

I agree with Dave, although unlike him, I have ordered a K4, on the "no deposit" plan, so I'm not out any money.  Of course, no one is actually out of money, other than the opportunity cost, if they chose to bail out. I sympathize with Elecraft's plight, but issues have plagued everyone and one

Not true.  You're wrong, and you're just trying to obfuscate the point. As I said, I don't have a K4 on order, but if I did have one on order and was given a clear projection that I could count on, at least I'd have what I needed to make an informed decision and I'd be satisfied with that.  T
