The K3 worked on 30 meters when I received it but the output was a bit low and drifted lower with component aging. Such things do happen and Elecraft gave me the support to find the problem and plus I've had experience with trimmers in older gear like my FT-101E that I've had for 35 years and other gear before that. Back in the dark ages ( I was first licensed in 1954 ), troubleshooting ham gear, doing periodic alignments, etc. were all a normal part of the game. All manufacturers have occasional component problems; the good manufacturers support their gear which Elecraft does quite well.

It is interesting to me that it looks like you had to do 1 repair due to a radio delivered with a fundamental defect and that the rest of your work was voluntary. I am mildly disconcerted by the reports of radios delivered with defects. Thanks again, Ed ______________________________________________________________ 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
