I just bought a BL2 with my K3 - why wasn't there a BL3 then!

I'd be interested, especially if the KAT3 worked the relay when tuning too

DonŒt complain. Nobody will understand. Or care. And certainly donŒt try
to fix the situation yourself. ItŒs dangerous. Leave it to a highly
untrained, unqualified, expendable professional.
