though!)
I remember back in 1966 at age 21, building a Heathkit RA1 hambands

continuous, all night in my room at the YMCA, Portsmouth, building it
and apart
Check that a long lead from the KSYN3 or KREF3 modules aren't shorted against
the bare metal they mount to. That was my problem. One cap had a lead that
was too long and was touching.

Do you have an Elecraft K2 kit you don't have time to build and want to sell.
I am looking for a winter project. Might consider a recent built K2. Thanks

A quick question to the group.
Is anyone on here using a K3 and a Microham interface?
Would appreciate an email regarding settings etc.

I have had a couple of stations report a gravely or sort of overtone on my K3's
xmit audio. Not everyone reports this, but more than one has. Has anybody had
a similiar experience? Could it posibly be RF? This was not noticed with
another radio when in line.
Thanks for any help.

Looking at the wiring diagram for the USB keyer it seems you may have the audio

It looks like the PTT line is connected to the K3
By the way, External interfaces are not used at all with the K3 in PSK-D mode.
This is only for PSK operation when sending with paddles connected to the K3's
