[Elecraft] K3 6M problem

[Bill W4ZV]

I'll repeat what I said previously today (to the guy hearing the whine from
his KPA3)...contact k3support at elecraft.com or gary at elecraft.com. 
You'll reach a solution much faster dealing with folks (like Gary AB7MY) who
know the K3 better than 99.9% of the people on this list (myself included).  

I simply cannot understand why folks post to a general list rather than
going to Elecraft in the first place?  Seems like a good way to waste a lot
of time and energy unnecessarily IMHO.

73,  Bill
