Jeff At the suggestion of Ian GM3SEK, I removed the spring under the ptt and cut a bit off it before stretching back to its original length. It was a bit fiddly but not difficult. Dropped it more than once!
The ptt is now much easier to use but as others have remarked, it has no positive tactile feedback - it needs a click or similar. A shame, since the quality of the audio is very good, although my voice prefers the MD2. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 27/05/2010 03:08, "Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF" <vk4bof.elecr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > G'day everyone! > > First of all, > After having given my K3 its first HF hitout this last weekend for our (Myself > - VK4BOF, Gary - VK4FD & Dale - VK4DMC) mini dxpedition for the World Flora & > Fauna at Undara Lava Tubes National Park in North Queensland, Australia I must > say that I am more than impressed with my new K3. > > It performed flawlessly and was a real pleasure to use, the MH2 microphone is > however another matter. > > Whilst its transmitted audio quality is excellent it appears that you must be > a 400lb gorilla to use the damned thing, the TX button is so stiff to use. :-) > > And even when you get the button in, it must be only barely making contact > that as soon as you relieve any pressure at all from the button, the radio > goes back to RX mode. > > Does anyone else have this issue? > > Jeff Cochrane > VK4BOF > Innisfail QLD > Australia > Elecraft K3 #4257 > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
