Re: [Elecraft] Flaky mic jack on KX3

You could try to replace the jack yourself. It's an uncommon size (TRRS), but Philmore #70-088 should work: https://shopintertex.com/philmore-70-088-chassis-mt-female-jack-3-5mm-4-conductor.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwub-HBhCyARIsAPctr7y3_kdB6IO7H2ehsuk2J5Ogwgfu2jpcBB2wN-453t_tS2F43g2z7JoaAlkZEALw_wcB

The mic jack on my KX3 is not making good contact with my MH3. I need to push the plug in an extra bit, then feel a small click, then PTT works. If I move the cable at all, it backs out past that click and the PTT switch doesn’t make the rig transmit. The same thing happens with other plugs. Th

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Only 30-metre Band Works

Don, I borrowed a couple of new relays from my KAT2 kit. I installed K1 and K2 with the correct orientation this time. This immediately resolved all transmit and receive problems. I have pushed on to successfully build the KNB2, KBT2 and I'm now working on the KSB2. No further problems have b

Re: [Elecraft] Broke my K2 :(

Don is exactly right about this.  When I was at HP/Agilent, the company directive was generally not to try to clean the rosin with alcohol.  (Rosin-core solder was used only in rework.)  The rosin contains an acid to help with the soldering, but the acid is locked up inside the rosin where it d
