Ray,
Count the number of problems you see posted here (or in the archives) in
a month or even a year. Try not to count those that are requests for
"how do I do ..." assistance. I think you should also discount the "my
shack was hit with a lightning surge" reports as well, but that is up to
you.
Then consider how many K3s are out there - over 8000 K3s, about 4000
KX3s, I don't know how many P3s and KPA500s and KAT500s.
I think you will find the percentage of actual failures is quite a small
percentage.
For many Elecraft owners, this reflector is the first resource when
'something strange' is encountered. There are a large number of owners
who are willing to assist others with their 'problems'.
The second resource is Elecraft support, where quick responsiveness is
the norm - many have mentioned the high level of support available from
Elecraft.
73,

I've been thinking about getting the K3, P3 and the amp but with all these
problems I keep seeing I hesitate to purchase. I talked to a few owner that
love the k3 so perhaps this is only a small group that has problems or do a lot
of owners have these problems? I ned to know more before I shell out a lot of
hard to dollars. Any suggestion fellows?

Bill,
I cannot assure you that this is not some delayed effect of the
lightning strike,
However, try doing the TX Gain Calibration before anything else. You may
want to run it 2 or 3 times if it does not help initially.
