Blaise Pascal once began a letter with:

Ken, if you only want batteries to keep the clock running and you otherwise
run off of an external power supply, why not a set of simple alkaline cells?
One set should last years, if not longer!

Just out of curiosity, I put a strain gage on a power cord and checked the
force required to un-mate the APP connector from three pieces of equipment.
One took just 5 lbs.
The second took 7 lbs.
The third took just 5.5 lbs.
I've never had an APP connector disengage accidentally.

The NB icon will flash slowly if the I.F.
blanker setting is too high for the present signal
conditions. If this happens, use a lower setting.

Look at the filter. If it has a collection of individual cans mounted on a
board, it's a 5-pole. Eight pole filters are in a single rectangular can.
You can see photos of them here:

In my *limited* experience with the K3 decoder, I have found that the
quality of the sent cw is a big factor in effective

doesn't depend upon the molded plastic like axial type holders do.
I think there's a reason we don't see axial type fuses in automobiles any
longer and I sure don't experience fuse holder failures in my car!

At one time a lot of fellows tried to work all the serial numbers for a
given rig. That was back in the early days when the K2 was the flagship

I put my s/n's on the list back then because several people asked for them.
I confess that I have not kept it updated though.
