I may have been the first to discover this several years ago, and Wayne worked out a band-aid to fix it. I mostly heard it on 6M. It's a couple of resistors and a couple of diodes that can be soldered from the bottom of the main board. They're even generic parts! Just pull the bottom panel to access it. There's a pdf on the website with nice photos and instructions. Once you've done that, you change a setting in one of the setup menus. Still have to do it with one of my K3s. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
