John, The disassembly is pretty straightforward. Though, if you didn't build your K3, it might seem a bit more daunting. The process is just about like installing the sub-receiver in an already built K3.
I would expect that Dale would have checked the encoder-socket integrity when he had it on the bench. 73, Stan On Jun 11, 2010, at 8:00 AM, "John K3TN [via Elecraft]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, Stan - I guess that explains why when the K3 was out at Elecraft, Dale > ran it thru 24 hours of temperature cycling.
