[Elecraft] Dead K3

[David Pratt]

You have my sympathy, Tom.  I had a perfectly working K3 until I 
installed the KRX3.  After I installed the KRX3, screwed everything back 
together again and returned it to the shack to plug it in, I found all 
sorts of error messages.  As Elecraft were unable to resolve the problem 
by e-mail I was asked to return it to Aptos for attention.  That was two 
months ago. Not only have I been without my K3 for two months but, it 
cost me a small fortune to return it. Also, being outside the USA I will 
be expected to pay for return shipping.

Understandably, I wish I had not bothered to get a KRX3 and will 
certainly NOT be recommending anyone else get one unless they have a 
specific reason for a sub receiver.
