So far, this major event of the protective plastic
film, is it there, is it not there, seems to be the
biggest event I've seen.
The radio Gods are smiling. ;-)
The biggest events I have seen are pretty important: The reversed
polarity of the ALC voltage (K3 ALC polarity setup is not presently
compatible with widely used amps from Yaesu and ICOM - perhaps
incompatible with ALL amps requiring ALC, but I am not sure about
that). This was discussed on the k3 yahoo reflector a couple weeks
ago. Also the mention here the other day of a similar polarity
mismatch problem with a CW loopback feature for QSK (that I don't
really understand).
Elecraft says they will develop a work around for the ALC problem at
some future time. This ALC thing is a major item for AMP users trying
to follow their manufacturer's instructions for setup.
