Thanks Bill,
Much appreciate the information as well as the response.
I have a K3s pair, each with a P3 on one side of the station and
a K1 adjacent to it. Both, of course, with power supplies. My
K3s's are factory sn 10xxx units and will be here for the duration.
Fascinating story on the AF
Thanks for the response jack. i'm in Baton Rouge so worrying too about the

Louisiana homes are not designed nor built for cold weather so, like you, it

issue than cold storage. Be careful if bringing cold equipment into a warm
room, condensation can quickly form...
Most amateur equipment doesn't mention storage temperature, only operating
temp. By way of an example a Rohde
Usually the limiting factor for low temperature in modern equipment is the LCD.
They have a problem crystalizing much below freezing and thus are not usable in
very cold temperatures.
I hope thing don’t get too cold in your area - we are forecast to see 19F here

manual page 45 says: 0 C to 50 C or 32 F to 122 F. The K3s manual specifics
0-50 C for frequency stability. The K2 manual does not mention operating
temperatures. The KX3 manual does not specify. I checked the non
What minimum temperature should a K station be kept at during a hard freeze
and is there a cold temperature point at which it should not be powered up?
Please reply to the list and as always do not reply to a digest. Thanks in
advance
for any information.
