[Elecraft] KBPF3 General Coverage Receiver -- Main or Subreceiver

[Carl Jón Denbow]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query -- both on and off the 
list.  My hand has actually been forced a little on this issue, as the 
KRX3 had a bad female TMP connection.  It appeared distorted in shape 
when I tried to replace the male connector.  I then took the cover off 
the KRX3 and discovered that the TMP female in question had never been 
installed correctly and was actually a clear open.  Some other aspects 
of the board looked questionable to me, so I'm going to return it to 
Elecraft for a repair and complete checkout.  So far, everything else in 
the rig seems to check out OK, though I haven't finished the shakedown 
cruise yet.  I'm also going to contact the seller and see if he'll pay 
for the Elecraft repair.   The unit was advertised on QTH.com as being 
in excellent working and cosmetic condition.   The one board seems to 
have been otherwise, as I do not see how the second receiver could have 
worked with all of its functions with one TMP coaxial connector 
basically MIA.

73,

Carl
