[Elecraft] KX3 Errors and Strange behavior

[Fred Jensen]

Ahh yes ... how easy it is to forget that ham radio is a global hobby. 
I too worked in a secure facility for many years, I can't imagine what a 
phone call placed to another country would have generated.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of the Elecraft employee crowd watch this list, 
I know some of them, and I know the "Heavy Breathers" do, I think you'll 
hear from them, maybe even at an appropriate time for you.  The company 
has a huge reputation for keeping their customers happy.

Stay safe Enzo, hope winter is treating you well
