Two things:
1. Good idea to have proof of purchase that has date. Not for
traveling abroad but so you can show upon re-entry to the US at
Customs, previous ownership and prove its not something you bought in
Italy. Ele-craft sounds pretty Italian to me.
2. Do not put in checked luggage.
I'm happy to say the opposite sideband nulling problems I had are now
fixed, and working fine! Operator malfunction once again...sadly! I
think I'll spare myself the embarrassment by not going into details.
All other setup items have gone fine except for one I will ask about in

pre-set at 550 Hz, which is a little low for my ears. My K2 was set to

Once again, conditions conspired to keep us down. But we didn't let poor

Press PITCH (under CMP) so that the pitch frequency appears in the

Help:
On eham.com someone was pointing out that the K3 has (perhaps had) IMD issues
compared to some others. I’m not an expert but would like to know if this has
been fixed? It seems there are less expensive radios with better IMD. I’m still
pretty much sold on the K3S but would like to know more
The $999 tells you you can’t ship USPS. Pick UPS.

Second, set Start to 250 or 300 Hz and Bins/Pixels to 4 or 5, so that

Again, the Sherwood TX IMD test that is the basis of the eHam thread is
almost 7 years old. That problem was fixed long ago, which is why so
many multi-multi stations and DXpeditions have been using K3s (not
K3S's) for all of these years. There hasn't really been any concern
about the K3's TX

Did you happen to notice that the IMD test that KA4WJA is basing his
thread on is from 2008? Do you think that Elecraft might have made some
improvements to the K3 since then?

Can 2 boards be shipped First Class or are they greater than 14 oz

They are greater than 14 oz.
If so, what is the most cost-effective shipping method within the US

Probably USPS Priority Mail. At least it has been my experience that

I think the report might be a year old.
I don't place much stock in eHam, most articles are Perception ' based and I
prefer Rob's testing and reports.
Wayne acknowledged the IMD issue way back when Rob pointed it out, it was fixed
very quickly.

Barry,
Choose another shipping method. USPS Priority Mail or UPS should work.
If you do not choose a valid shipping method, the shipping charge will
be listed as $999.00 - that is artificial, but does tell you that the
shipping method chosen is not valid.

In as much as most multi contest stations use K3 radios and will likely
move to K3S radios, there wouldn't seem to be any concerns in this regard.

Thanks guys, I expected that was the case, but, didn't know what to say when
the guy was saying those things about the k3. I really can't wait until
Saturday gets here. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the rig and
getting my kit ordered.

I understand the k3 in question was a very early version and Rob consulted with
zelecraft and that issue was fixed long ago.
