Re: [Elecraft] Sending in for a Tuneup

[Nr4c]

Why do you think it needs a "look over"?

Are you having issues?

To send your radio you should call customer support first and they can give you 
all the instructions on the procedure.

Re: [Elecraft] Sending in for a Tuneup

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

If you bought it new, it had that tuneup before it left the factory - 
any problems in the first year should be taken care of under warranty. 
If you do have problems, the first course of action is to contact 
Elecraft support.


If you bought it used, and you want it checked out at the factory the 
same as would be done if it were new, you will need an RSA to send it 
in.  To start that process, contact supp...@elecraft.com.  Wait until 
you have the RSA number and form and instructions before sending it.


I don't know what the normal time to check it out will be, but my guess 
is about 1.5 hours at $99 per hour plus shipping.
It will come back to you having been reset to factory defaults with 
firmware updated, so if you have established some favorite setting like 
TX/RX EQ or AGC parameters, etc.  Write your settings down before 
sending.  In this particular case I would suggest not relying on a saved 
configuration file.


73,
Don W3FPR

Any comments on the procedure?

With your KX3 being just a few months old, my suggestion, if you are concerned 
about something would be to start with a phone call.  I usually send my heavy 
use contest equipment (K3) in every 3 or so years and that accounts for 10's of 
thousands of qso's.  

If your want a check up after just a few months I am assuming something is 
concerning you and a phone call to elecraft support would probably give you a 
comfort level.
