[Elecraft] K3 - 30m problem solved

[Don Rasmussen]

A large part of the reason I bought K3 was because it
was the SDR I could operate with confidence. That
means it's instant on and whenever there is an
"ut-oh", I think to myself "what did I do wrong?"
first, rather than going straight to that sinking
feeling. ;-) 

At this QTH, that's a pretty big deal.

Chagrined beats the alternative. 


[Elecraft] K3 - 30m problem solved

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
