David,

I am not in that area, and cannot give you hands-on assistance, but if I 
can help via email, I am willing to do that.
Take it off-list and email me direct (delete [Elecraft] from the subject 
line).  I will be on vacation this next week, but I will have email.  I 
may not be instantly responsive, so a bit of patience may be required 
until I can get to my emails.

The K3S can be operated with the default settings and will perform well, 
so just turn it on and operate.  The real "rub" comes in for adjusting 
the mic gain and other such things.  The manual covers those items quite 
nicely, but you have to know what microphone and whether it needs bias 
or not.  Those are the subtle things that cannot be covered in the 
manual because there are so many variations.

73,
Don W3FPR
