Loaded 3.59 just now. Radio NZ on 9765, locks on with the K3 at 9764.984, it's dithering a couple of hz. 5-4-5-4-3 etc.
After this load I thought I had a problem. It ended the download and returned the K3 to (what I thought) would be normal operation with a loud pop and crackle in the speaker. The S-meter was pegged out. I shut down the K3 for a few seconds and turned it back on with the same results. So I turned off the K3 and the power supply for a little longer then turned it back on, meter still pegged out, after several seconds or perhaps a minute the meter slowly came back down and I was receiving Radio NZ. Now everything seems to be ok. I have not tried transmitting yet.
