Hello Guys,
K3 Serial Number 63, located in VK Land, is up and working.
After an initial Hiccup at the Synthesiser Calibration Step that was
cured by a Firmware Upgrade, all is well. I posted a question to the
Support Email Address about the Error Code I received, and within a few
minutes, Wayne had replied...so I can only say that K3 Support is
excellent !
The Radio arrived late Morning, and was fully functional, complete with
a new Firmware Upload, by 6 PM. The assembly went well and my only
missing parts were two Black 1/4 Inch Screws..that I replaced from my
small Stash of K2 leftovers.
A quick check of the Radios performance on the Test Gear went well, and
I can say that so far, I am impressed ! It WAS worth the wait.
I have since uploaded another Firmware upgrade and also a new K3
Utility, and all went well. The upgrades are dead easy.
This first K3 ( I am planning on another next year in 100W Version ) is
to primarily function as an IF for my Elecraft XV's and some other
higher Band Transverters. The Transverter integration is not quite done
yet, but my KRC2 may be a way around that in the short term.
Happy days !
73
