[Elecraft] KX3 Power Socket

[WW2R Elecraft]

I had the same issue with my kx3. Investigation revealed that their was a
dry joint between the power socket and the PCB. Soldered it properly, not
had the problem since

The power lead/barrel connector on the second #2334 KX3 is starting to 
intermittently drop out. Most notable if you remove the internal 
batteries and try and operate from a supply only. It seems it is the 
socket itself that is duff. Yes using the Elecraft power leads not 
something homebrewed.

I am thinking it might be worth removing the socket, fitting a couple of 
power poles on a pig tail, and a grommet where the original socket was.

Anyone else done anything similar?

A second wash with iso propyl alcohol and the KX3 I thought wind blown 
sand had killed (#1082) seems fine now... there was a lot of dirt/dust 
that had not previously been removed.

Do you need the RIT mode when the other station is zero beat with your
signal?

with QRQ in effect it is not possible to shift that fast.  A K3 with 'chirp'
on the ham bands would not be a nice thing to hear.
