Dave... thanks so much. The sensitivity returned when I did the J66 jumper test. So looks like PIN diode D5 needs to be replaced. Looks like I can order from Mouser. Will do some digging and see if I can find the "more robust version". 73, Connie / K5CM On 7/19/2021 12:08 AM, David Hachadoria

Fred - can you get access to another receiver, preferably not another K3? If you can, then unplug your K3 and see if that signal is present on the other rig. Might help pinpoint if the signal is from within your rig or external. 73, Jim / K7TXA > On Jul 20, 2021, at 4:43 PM, Lyn Norstad wrote:

Correction, thanks to Chris who found it on Digikey: the part is WM2522-ND. Pins are sold separately. I overlooked the "Housings" category when I searched! Mea culpa, and 73, Mike, K8CN __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.

Chris, The part specified in the KAT2 manual for J8, the female 10-pin, dual row housing is a DigiKey part, WM2522, but I checked under that number and it comes up empty. Mouser has a similar part from Molex: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/90160-0110?qs=KHty%2FoMxDPm42IR2IE4wEQ%3D%3D
