[Elecraft] Unexpected Band / Mode switching

[Mark E. Musick]

Mike,
Your problem is most likely the front panel connectors. This is a known
problem for early K3s. Early K3s had tin connectors between the front panel
and RF board. Elecraft switched to gold connectors around serial #4000. I
just had my serial #3505 in for upgrades and they switched the connectors
while they had it.
You can contact Elecraft and they will send you the gold connectors for you
to switch out yourself or send the radio back to Elecraft and they will
change them for you if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself.

I have a fairly elderly K3, SN500s. I have noticed recently that
occasionally when I hit the band up switch the mode changes but the band
doesn't. Seems to be getting more frequent. Is this a common problem and is
there a fix?

Mike
