Re: [Elecraft] K3 LCD light blocker

2011-03-31 Thread PEN4WWZ
Hi Jim, I assembled my K3/100 and had the light leak also. After disassembling the front panel I felt the light blockers were too narrow. I called Elecraft and they sent a new set to me. The new ones were still kind of narrow so I passed on installing them and drove into town to buy a roll

Hello K3 forum, My K3/100 #4645 arrived last Thursday (9/2) evening. Family commitments, one defective part and one missing part delayed the assembly a little bit. Finished it last night and had it on the air last night. I'm enjoying the K3 and look forward to using it as my primary rig.

Hi Gary, Just a little more feedback. For the fun of it I tried manual tuning through the bands @ 50 watts and found that the tuning power on 40 meters through 10 meters did not fluctuate using the XMIT/Tune button. All other bands did. Thanks, 73, Paul AD5SX

Hi Gary, Once again I forgot something. The serial number for the K3 is 4442. I believe it was ordered in June/July 2010 so it is under warranty. Once I get mine and assemble it, I'll be way ahead on the learning curve because of my time on Ken's rig. He was very generous to lend this rig

Hello K3 users, I've been fortunate to have a friend loan me his K3/100 for an evaluation to help me decide whether I want to order one. I've been following the Elecraft forum discussion regarding external auto tuner interfacing with the K3. I have my Ameritron AL-811 (600 watts) amp

Hi Everyone, I omitted in my original post that my manual antenna tuner meter shows the 15 watts when pressing the K3's XMIT/Tune button though the amp does not respond. I have my Ameritron AL-811 (600 watts) amp connected to this K3/100. I find that the K3 Tune command (XMIT/Tune

Hi everyone, I found my mistake after hearing from 4 hams via email. If something seems wrong always take the time to disconnect the rig from everything, especially when your unfamiliar with a new rig, and do a visual of where you need to go with whatever connections you need to make. In
