I should've listed the power supply as a 10A continuous and 12A peak sorry. Lack of nibbles, maybe my price is too high? This K3 is literally AS NEW but I suppose considering the many alternative configurations of the K3, this could make selling one used tricky unless it is sold at a heavily

I was annoyed by the felt on felt hiss generated by rotation of VFO A and took about six attempts to find a compromise between hiss and rotation damping. Ideally I would prefer it to rotate less easily though. - Shane K3/10: S/N 2127, KBPF3, KFL3B-FM, KFL3A-6K, KFL3A-2.8K, KFL3A-400,

I don't understand some functionality of the K3's passband tuning. If I select AM, and activate NORM then Fc=1.50KHz(an asterisk is alongside this figure on the display). Since the selected roofing filter defaults to 6KHz I figure the displayed value of Fc is the centre frequency of the audio
