[Elecraft] K3 - 30m problem solved

[Rick Dettinger]

If this had been an "offshore rig", you would have had to send it to a  
factory authorized repair facility for warranty work.  Since there was  
no fault, you would have had to pay a service charge and shipping both  
ways.  Another advantage of buying an Elecraft rig.

===================================================
My K3 quit transmitting on 30m a week ago.  All other bands were OK.  
After using up a lot of Gary's time, Wayne called me and his first  
question was, "Which antenna is selected?"

I don't know how it happened, but 30m had gotten set to ANT2.  One tap  
on ANT and I'm back alive on 10.1 MHz.  Just like my K2, the K3  
antenna selection is saved on a per band/per memory basis, something I  
should have known since I've had my K2/KAT100 for several years now.

The moral for me is, "Before leaping to email support at elecraft.com,  
study **ALL** the icons and legends on the LCD."  Quite a few are  
fairly small.

Chagrined, I remain
