Re: [Elecraft] K3/100 Value (for insurance)

Replacement would be a K4 right? So I would say a K4 with sub rcvr and Kat if the K3 has them. Mike Kk9v On Sat, Jul 30, 2022, 10:45 AM Paul GACEK via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > $2k? > > ……and while not your question, parted out you could get a lot more. > > Paul >

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Birdies

I found that the instructions for how to route the various cables were a helpful start, but after a LOT of trial and error I found that in some cases other positions worked much better.  And of course, some positions work better for some birdies while other positions work better for other

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Birdies

In addition to cable dress and being sure the cables are fully inserted/mated, be sure all the shields and the case have good metal-to-metal contact. Might want to loosen the various screws 1/4 turn and then tighten them. The screw on the left panel that ties to the shield behind the DSP board

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Birdies

SIG RMV can help, but before you do this, look in the manual for instructions about how to dress the cables to and from the synthesizers and the SUBRX. Make sure they are plugged in all the way, too. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On

Hi All I have an 11 year old K3 s/n 6xxx. I have noticed lately there seem to be quite a few birdies pretty well everywhere. This doesn't seem right. I hear many of them with the antenna connected. The radio is pretty well loaded and does have the updated synthesizers. Also has the sub

I have a K3/100 S/N 2324 fully loaded (2nd receiver, 8-pole filters, all upgrades except USB) that needs to be shipped to Elecraft for repair. What is a suggested value of this for insurance? 73, Allen R. Brier N5XZ 1515 Windloch Lane Richmond, TX 77406 713-705-4801
