I hesitate to join this discussion but it seems inevitable that the more K3 are around, the greater chance the odd one has a problem . Can only speak from my own experience - I have two - assembled both. The older one (#228) has about 100,000 Qs on the clock and has been to and from Africa in my hand luggage on the following trips without incident.
Uganda Jun-Aug 2008 Sierra Leone Sep 2008 Kenya Nov 2008 Uganda Nov 2008 Uganda Feb-Apr 2009 Sierra Leone Nov 2009 Uganda Jan-Mar 2010 Kenya Nov 2010 Uganda Nov-Dec 2010 Uganda Feb-Apr 2011 Uganda Nov-Dec 2011 Sure this can't be luck - certainly some crazy African AC power has done its best to make life difficult. My home K3 (#1848) is also living a charmed trouble-free life. Elecraft support has been great - even to the odd stupid e mail from Africa when I have got muddled up! My main criticism - pile up performance under certain condx -seems to have been sorted with the latest firmware upgrade. This reflector can get far too defensive but let's lighten up please! 73 Nick G3RWF ______________________________________________________________ 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
