Subject: [Elecraft] Measuring eBay KTCXO-3 PHASE NOISE

Gentlemen.

I just bought one of these Chinese knock-offs on eBay.  I haven't opened it
- it arrived today.  Is someone willing to try it out and measure the phase
noise in their otherwise properly working K3s?

 

I am on the second factory KTCXO-3 that has since drifted so bad that
Elecraft sent me a new standard oscillator.  I have access to a GPSDO for 10
MHz so it's not a huge issue except for the fact when portable I don't have
that luxury.  The standard oscillator is ok - It just the principle I guess.

 

So anyone want to test it out?  I'll mail it to you.  I do not  have the
expertise to measure phase noise myself or the tools.

 

Thanks,

Hank

Re: [Elecraft] K3/10 is sick and needs help!

2021-08-10 Thread Keith Trinity WE6R
If some buttons don't work, and some do the wrong action, you for sure 
need to replace the 4 push-button encoders!

The old ones "leak" and disrupt the resistive matrix.
Sometimes you can snap the push-button action multiple times to clear 
things (temporarily).
