Possibly from a poor soldering job on the main board. It likely passed electrical tests, but after some mechanical torque, it likely popped off of the board. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 4:43 PM Rich WC3T <[email protected]> wrote: > My totally uneducated guess is that it?s a surface mount capacitor.

ARRL has published something called an 'SPF record' which specifies what SMTP servers are allowed to use arrl.net as a FROM address. This effectively stops the ability for anyone to send out emails using @ arrl.net as their FROM address. You can receive mail, but you can no longer send out email using that as your email address. You will want to quickly change your email program so it no longer uses @arrl.net as your FROM address, as servers worldwide will stop receiving those emails (they will either reject them, or simply discard them, or put them in a spam folder -- either way, your emails aren't going to get through to most folks) While this was ARRL's decision, it is the correct one. GMail has stopped taking mail from any domain that has no SPF record, so ARRL was forced into this. And, by the way, the ARRL never promoted or even said you could use @ arrl.net as your FROM address. It has always been marketed as a free email forwarding service. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is what it is. Nobody can fix this. Stop using @arrl.net as your FROM address as soon as possible. - Scott KA9FOX 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On Sun, Jan 22, 2023 at 4:36 PM Dave New <[email protected]> wrote: > I've had several emails blocked from my 'normal' email address I use for > ham-radio related emails, [email protected]. > > According to the email bounce messages I received, all email from arrl.net > is being blocked. > > I've sent an email to [email protected], who is listed as this email > list administrator, but he may not see this right away, as this is a Sunday. > > Does anyone else on the list know who to contact? > > In the meantime, I've had to subscribe with a gmail address (which is > ironic, since the vast majority of SPAM on the Internet comes from that > domain), so I can post the 80M SSB Net Announcement for this evening.

You will need to send a picture so that people can determine what it is. I took the K3 schematics (since you didn't mention K3s) and did a search for 3.3 ohms and 3.3 kohms but that didn't give a hit, suggesting it may not be a resistor. There are 3 3.3uf capacitors in the radio. Once we've established what it is we can search further. I thought it would be a 3.3 ohm resistor that would run hot, un-solder itself but as said, can't find a schematic that has it.

I don?t run an amp but I?ve run my K3 for years at 5 watts for QRP events without issue. My TUN PWR is set to 7 watts to keep my remote tuner and LPA happy. The manual states that to manually initiate a TX GAIN calibration to set TUN PWR to exactly 5 (or 50) watts and hold the TUNE button. I can imagine that accidentally doing so into an antenna rather than a 50 Ohm dummy load could really mess up the TX GAIN calibration.
