find nothing... It just looks like I have no IF input to the just repaired P3. Any ideas where else I might check on the failed P3? I am being very careful to make ZERO changes to the K3, as it drives P3 number 2037 fine. -- 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer

My mail client supports filters-- I build a filter for whatever the subject de jour is, that has morphed. Then I direct that and that subject only to the trash. Look at your filter creation within your mail client. 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner
