Hi all.
I'm about to buy my first (used) K3. The only known issue with it is a small
crack in the knob on the 2nd VFO, which should be easy enough to replace?
I also have the serial number and I know its history. It was purchased in
the UK as a kit and assembled by a local ham (now silent key). There's no
microphone with it and no serial cable., but it does have a power lead and
the 100W module.
I'm assured that it's fully working with no known issues and I will be able
to try-before-buy.
Questions:
How can I find out what year it was supplied, from the serial number.
Is there any point in checking its current revision level, or should I just
download the latest firmware and install it?
Are there any known issues that I should especially look for?
My preferred method of connection to a PC would be a USB cable. Is there a
mod to allow USB direct to the K3, or is my perception of the manual correct
and I need to use a USB to Serial cable?
I presume that I will have to order a front panel microphone plug from
Elecraft, in order to use one of my electret microphones?
Thanks in advance.
73,
Alan. G4GNX
