[Elecraft] K3 erratic Receive volume

[Larry Boekeloo]

Good morning,

I deleted your response to my question earlier this month.  So here I go again...


I had send an email earlier this month explaining my audio problem on my K3 #5278.  Here's a copy of my message:

Yesterday, my K3 suddenly decided to have erratic receive audio.  If I have the audio at the 9 o'clock position and start to turn it counter-clockwise to lessen the audio, the audio goes to half volume.  Sometimes I turn the AF gain completely counter-clockwise and I still have audio.  I then have to increase and then decrease the audio to make it work correctly.  I also brought up HRD and I 
can watch it on the software do the same thing.  It happens ONLY when I am trying to reduce the audio.

I received an email back to try and do a parameter initialization.  I did that according to the manual and everything reloaded correctly.  However, my problem still exists.

Any thoughts on the problem?

Also, what happens to the K3 radios that are donated to the FT5 dxpedition?  Are they put up for sale by Elecraft?  Just curious, they are probably nicely furnished.

Thanks again for a great product and great support!
