Hi Bill, this is exactly what I wanted to hear :) As I mentioned already I have just only excellent experiences with Elecraft service guys and their effort etc. till now so I was a bit surprised. So I am happy to hear that it is nothing related to Elecraft guys. I am really looking forward to

Please do not get the wrong impression of Elecraft service. I assembled my K3 from a kit and I have been the only one who has worked on it. If it is a problem with the workmanship, I'm the one to blame. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/17/15 at 2:10 AM, indi...@xsmail.com (ok1rp) wrote: You would like

Hi, Has anyone else noticed the screws that hold the K3 case together appear to rust over time? Not a show stopper but they do look a little sad one year on. Yes I could drop some black hobby enamel paint on them but this seems a little odd to me that after just one of owning the radio now
