No problem here Wayne, I remember when a mod required a hot soldering Iron to undo. And in case any of the younger crowd here thinks this wasn't a big deal should have owned the hotest rig for 1978, the Yaesu FT901DM. It kept a monthly newsletter full of mods (Fox Tango Club, before internet e-mail) and they didn't always work, and the hardware was not returnable. The one I'm reminded of most from those days was tearing into the audio card to modify the mic amp front end. Most of us hated the tinny high pitched mic audio the Japanese built into those rigs. A few caps and resistors later it sounded a little better. That one mod took more time to get right than ALL the FW upgrades I've done on my K3 since Last November. (I think you're spoiling some of these kids ;-) 73, Al, WA6VNN (Oh Yes! Talk about spoiled, Thanks for the best drawing prize I ever won at DX Convention.

They pounded on rev 1.87 for three weeks. The K3 is a very complex radio, yet we're trying to make it easy to use. This paradox keeps Lyle and I up at night, but I think we're converging. We appreciate everyone's patience. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
