Hi Phil, 

This note is not only for you but any others experiencing K3 problems. 
Always send your queries to k3support at elecraft.com first.  You stand a much
better chance of receiving accurate information from Elecraft than any other
source.  Gary AB7MY is the main K3 support guy, he is normally very prompt
in responding and he is very, very good at K3 support.  I would never modify
my own K3 based only on what I read on this list.  Some advice here is good
and some is not.  You run the risk of making your problem worse if you
happen to follow bad advice.

73,  Bill  W4ZV
