Early on, my K3 seemed to go deaf on 30m, and the tuner couldn't find a match. Fine on all the other bands. After putting the fire out in my hair [small fire, not much hair left], I finally emailed Elecraft. After some diagnosing, Wayne emailed me for my phone number and a time to call. On schedule, the President of the company called me, we reviewed the symptoms, and he said [I can remember this like it was yesterday], "Let's start with the simple stuff. On 20, which ANT is selected?" I told him ANT1. "Now switch to 30m and tell me what you see." I was already wanting to curl up and disappear, it was ANT2 of course. One tap and I was in business. Moral: There's a lot of info on that big display, and some of the indicators are a little small. With all the per-band and per-mode memory in the gizmo, it's easy to change something, not realize it at the time, and then wonder if your radio is fried later on. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2010 Cal QSO Party 2-3 Oct 2010 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ 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
