[Elecraft] K3 Repair

[Duncan Carter]

The K3 worked on 30 meters when I received it but the output was a bit 
low and drifted lower with component aging.  Such things do happen and 
Elecraft gave me the support to find the problem and plus I've had 
experience with trimmers in older gear like my FT-101E that I've had for 
35 years and other gear before that.  Back in the dark ages ( I was 
first licensed in 1954 ), troubleshooting ham gear, doing periodic 
alignments, etc. were all a normal part of the game.  All manufacturers 
have occasional component problems; the good manufacturers support their 
gear which Elecraft does quite well.

Thanks, Dunc.

It is interesting to me that it looks like you had to do 1 repair due to a
radio delivered with a fundamental defect and that the rest of your work 
was
voluntary.

I am mildly disconcerted by the reports of radios delivered with defects.

Thanks again,

Ed
