Re: [Elecraft] new dead K3s still not fixed
Sorry to hear that you're having problems with a new K3S but I am not sure how you can also purchase a K3 kit, those have not been manufactured in years. When you said that the K3S was DOA, I assume that meant it did not even turn on. What did Elecraft do to fix it? Now that it has been repaired, what are the issues?

On 6/19/2019 5:11 PM, Robert G Strickland via Elecraft wrote: Will the K3s continue to be sold? YES! The K2, for example, is still being sold. The only radios that they have discontinued are ones for which they could no longer buy parts, and the original K3, which was replaced by the K3S. And K3 can be upgraded to a K3S by replacing modules that the owner chooses to upgrade. I upgraded the two K3s I bought in 2008 as kits by replacing the synth boards and the XVTR boards. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] new dead K3s still not fixed
He said he has talked to them on the phone, more than once I suspect. In 11 years of dealing with them, I have encountered some, certainly the minority, Support people who have not been good to deal with. Wayne has been unfailingly supportive but he is a busy man and I imagine finishing K4 designs and getting them out the door probably has more importance than supporting obsolete radios.

Re: [Elecraft] New (second-hand) K2 owner, what now?
Daniel, There is no composite change log for the firmware. Most of the changes after MCU 2.03 were done to support new changes like support for the K60XV option. The change from 2.04P to 2.04r locked the sidetone source at U8-4 at the request of the support folks who got tired of answering support calls saying "I have lost me K2 sidetone". Great that you got the microphone situation sorted out. Yes, K2FCTR_K2 is the internal frequency counter probe parts.
