Hi,
it never occurred to me put anything non-E;ecraft to my fully loaded K3
radio.
I smept damn much for my K3 so would it be stupid and risky to waste it by
MFJ or even chinese crap.

I remember the bright yellow glow from the final in my Heathkit
DX-40 when I forgot to connect the antenna. At least the plate
didn't melt and the tube still worked.
I had a 100W K3 with no tuner and one of my antennas needed a
tuner, probably for 30M. I used the T1, with the caveat that I

Ouch. We did T1 tests at 50 W to make sure it could handle 20 W, and even that

I've long had mixed feelings about MFJ. They have some very
interesting, innovative, and cost-competitive products. However
sometimes the quality isn't there. For example I have an MFJ antenna
analyzer that was intermittent until I fixed a poor ground connection.
I forget the details, but as I
The K3 has been out of production for four years, why is the top of

I've used many MFJ products and in have had very little trouble with any of

Wonder if it's held in the K3 with hot glue like they use to hold the panel
meters in their antenna tuners have seen this in a tuner purchased by
a friend.

MFJ has been a leader in automatic tuner technology for years. It was
probably a very simple engineering process for them to use what they
have to create a K3 tuner. You may have a dislike of MFJ products. But,
that doesn't preclude the fact that their tuners work very well. They
