Without the capacitor I got unpredicted errors, possibly caused by stray r.f. in the shack.
My only regret is that the K3 does not have a menu option to accept my K2 dual key assembly. Consequently, I have to use a different key for the K3. 73 -- David G4DMP Leeds, England, UK ------ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
