Shockingly bad grammar, from a supposedly educated person:
" I use an old Zero case for my K3, only because I found it orphaned."
You probably guessed that the case was orphaned, not the K3.
Good thing my English teachers have been dead for decades.

I'm the kind of ham who enjoys repurposing stuff to fit my needs.
Portable tool cases come in a wide range of size and shape and many, like
electric drill cases, are fine for ham use. I don't know any particular
source; they seem to show up from friends and relatives. Ask around. Sometimes

Would someone please tell me how to find the message about the improvised
radios made from kitchen finds?
Thanks,

Well, perseverance pays, sometimes.I realize this mic probably came from China,
but...
the connections to the end of the cable, in the mic housing, weren't well
handled.
The connection of the black wire to the shield was made so near the end of the
outer jacket that overheating other wires was v
Further toubleshooting has not found a problem, so I'm still thinking element.
When I was involved with cell phones, they cost a quarter!
I'll check the plant.

My MH2 was dropped onto concrete and is now dead,
Is there an element available?
I don't see anything else that could be wrong.

I know it's OT, but want to comment on FD operation here in NC.
I wouldn't even consider going on SSB for FD!But our SSB station on 40/15 made
over 700 QSO, with several ops of modest experience but sensible people. K3
and double bazooka. They were pleased.
I made almost 400 CW QSOs, K3 and 80m
Will the K3 be harmed if a mono plug is put into the jack?
I know it's a stereo output, but don't know how it reacts to a mono plug
shorting one channel to ground?

Mike, I lived in New England for about 15 years and know I'm not the first to
talk to you in direct terms.
Used to sail in Marblehead and know just how snotty people there can be.
If you don't find my very useful and concise advice to be "constructive" that's
your problem.
I'm 80 and find th
Thanks, Wayne.
I'm glad they are normal.
They have never caused a problem.

I've meant for years to ask about the birdies I hear from my K3.
At many frequencies across HF, I hear obviously internally generated birdies.
They are very narrow and quite strong.
I've noticed recently that I can cause them to occur by setting the high and
low ends of the filter to overlap
Please read my rant about Ham Qualifications and Technology.
We are at the mercy of MANY programmers and "software engineers."
The operating system people have no resistance to making things steadily more
obscure and complicated.
They don't know or care what the programmers of our many program
This is so far off the wall it can't be answered...there is no answer.
Please read my rant on Ham Qualifications.
Then ask yourself why the tuner might have a two wire output connection.
Then read about what impedance is.
Then read about what the impedance at the end of your wire might be.
Th
s, operation returns to normal.
The solution is to separate the antennas more or reduce power.

There's always something new...
Our clubs went to 100W this year, after being leaders in QRP for some years,
up to #2.
We wanted new hams and the SSB crowd to have more fun.
I operated CW with one of my two K3, which worked fine, as usual.
But I experienced something never seen before. Ther
I wish this board could stay technical.
Maybe we should have another one for service issues and rants?
Ham qualifications were mentioned in the signal quality discussion.
Someone should man up and state the obvious:

Some of the elements from the harmonica place are interesting, but expensive.
A good source, if they are OK.

Yes, I have been on the web and see dynamic and electret replacements. My uses

I also see statements that all the ceramic replacements have been sold, but I

I use a 35 year old mic from my TS-450 Kenwood.
It has a better feel than the Elecraft mic and I think it sounds better.
