Re: [Elecraft] Can I rent a K4?

The deposit is usually to cover minor damage when an item is returned. It would have to be as high or higher than the cost to buy a new one, or the renter could be well out of pocket. Most would-be renters would be unlikely to want to shell out $400+ as a deposit. 73, Alan. G4GNX

Re: [Elecraft] Can I rent a K4?

I can't see that working. When a renter defaults and does a runner, Elecraft would have to layout a lot in recovery fees and maybe even end up with a pile of junk for their trouble. It might work in a very small country or if they had a physical presence in all states. 73, Alan.

This happened to me last week, although it may not have been a flashover. Have you power cycled the K3? Mine would not output any power after the KPA500 faulted, even when I turned the KPA500 off. No barefoot power, zilch. I power cycled the K3 and all restored itself. 73, Alan. G4GNX
