" A couple of weeks ago I blew something on the KIO3A board in my brand new K3"
Could I ask why this was not covered under warranty if it was a brand new K3? Bob W6VY Re: [Elecraft] K3 Repair alternative Pete Smith Fri, 02 Jul 2010 05:41:10 -0700 Whoah! This is really news to me. A couple of weeks ago I blew something on the KIO3A board in my brand new K3. The consensus at the time was that it would not be cost-effective to send the board to Elecraft for repair. In my conversations with Elecraft tech support, nobody ever mentioned the possibility of a swap. As a result, I paid $115 for a new replacement board, and have the old one on my desk here, probably just needing a new U1, which I may just try to do myself. Would Elecraft really have accepted my damaged board and charged me such a nominal figure for repair, and sent me a new board to use in the meantime? Sounds too good to be true - maybe I'm misunderstanding. 73, Pete N4ZR ______________________________________________________________ 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
