TMP connectors that were never fully seated are a common cause of such

For myself, not being able to do 10 Hz shift is an issue for CW and the

Think again. Not
kidding about 45 over 9 on a calibrated K3 S meter either. Though we *were*
listening on a five element wide spaced (190 feet end to end) 40m quad.

The other thing hate to bring up is lightning/static damage. If you can get
to the seller you might want to discuss the problem with him and whether

I bought a little bag of simple RCA plugs with a longer pin and I now make

e manufacturer is telling you that the K3/K3S is not designed for south
of 11. South of 11 is a foul ball.
Personally I manage the huge T105's in my RV to stay above 11.5 VDC in
camps without power hookup. They are expensive, very heavy, and a real pain
in the *ss to change out.

communication.
My boat anchor Collins 75A3 receiver and Johnson Ranger transmitter have 11
meters on them. Before 1958, 11 meters was shunned by hams in favor of 10
meters. Little surprise the FCC repurposed it.

The K2 was first prototyped in October 1997. I'll bet no one back then
would have guessed that demand for parts would still be around 19 years
later in 2016.

In this kind of consideration, spending the absolute least amount of money
