Dave,
At this stage of things most "bugs" are really
operator errors due to lack of familiarity with
the rig. Of course, you could have a hardware
problem with your specific unit, but that's not
likely. Best is to call tech support and ask for
advice.

Recently purchased a K3 kit. Have noted a couple
of bugs. Wonder if anyone else has seen these:
1) After I put the kit together, while doing the
testing, I noted that if I cycled through the
modes via the left side of the mode button (mode
dn), every time it went into AM mode it keyed
the TX for a second or maybe two. Did not do
this when pressing the right side of the mode
button (mode up) and going into AM. This was not
simply lighting the TX light. The external power
meter confirmed that RF was being generated. All
other changes of mode appeared to be fine.
2) Just now turned the K3 on. Switched to 80m.
Mode was CW before and after the change of
bands. After a few seconds I noted there was no
audio coming from the speaker. Switched to 60m
(USB), audio. Switched to 40m (CW), audio.
Switched back to 80, no audio. Cycled through
the modes. Audio was heard on LSB, AM, Data, and
suddenly audio was heard on 80m CW. And . . .
while cycling through the modes I noted that the
TX was no longer keyed when switching to AM via
the mode dn button.
Are these bugs related? Has anyone else seen
either of these?
I'd really like to see Elecraft spend the
necessary effort to thoroughly debug the K3
before spending much effort adding features that
only a handful of ops will ever use.
