If you've not done the Synthesizer ALC Mod, you should do so. Even with
this mod installed, I recently had K3SYN unlock problems with my Main VCO
(and not Sub) before the rig warmed up (i.e. FP temperature <19C). Elecraft
has apparently made some additional component changes in capacitors and they
shipped me a new board which so far has completely solved the temperature
related problem.
For those of you new to Elecraft, here's an example of their phenomenal
service. I notified k3support of the unlock problem on Friday morning.
Gary AB7MY suggested the K3SYN board exchange and Elecraft shipped the K3SYN
board Friday afternoon via Priority Mail. Monday morning the board arrived,
was installed and I confirmed that the unlock problem was solved. Tuesday
the bad board was returned to Elecraft in their prepaid mailer. 3 days
total from notification to problem solved...and all at Elecraft's expense!
I challenge anyone to duplicate this service with any other manufacturer.
Here's a general comment regarding many of the problems posted on this list.
You'll save yourself a LOT of wasted time and trouble if you simply contact
k3supp...@elecraft.com directly. Gary AB7MY and the support crew are
extremely responsive and you'll likely get a response within hours...even on
weekends and holidays. The Elecraft team has FAR more experience with
problems than anyone on this list, and they'll likely solve your problems
much more quickly than posting your problems here.
