[Elecraft] K3 s/n 3776 operation report

[Norman Zinn]

From  Norman Zinn AAV5VW / KB8EEF

I am please to report  that my American made built from a kit Elecraft K3/100 
transceiver with:
KAT3 ATU
KTCXO3-1 TCXO 1ppm f/w correction to 0.5 ppm, 
KXV3A RX Ant., IF Out and Xverter Interface
KBPF3 K3 General Coverage RX Module
KRX3 2nd RX
KUSB Universal Serial Bus Adapter
MH2 Hand held microphone
has preformed  nearly flawlessly for the past year with over 50 hours of air 
time a month .
SSB voice and digital operation using sound card MixW modes , EasyPal, Winmor 
and also Winlink/Airmail using a PK-232 TNC MARS operation. I hope to encourage 
other MARS members to consider American made Elecraft over the yeakenicom 
offerings.
My previous rig was a Heath SS-9000 transceiver which I ran for about 20 years 
and still have. I am powering my K3 with a Heath HP-1144A power supply which I 
used with my Heath SS-9000. The Heath SS-9000 is now my back-up rig. 
I would like see Elecraf make a stand alone VHF rig with serial port, audio I/O 
and PPT  data conections .
Also some time back I tried to post an over voltage circuit but the post was 
rejected.
