[Elecraft] K3s Odd sound vibrations Edit - Hypothesis, Steps, Conclusion, and Request.

[Wes (N7WS)]

I don't think you're an idiot.  I've reported a few defects to Elecraft over the 
last 8 years.  Usually they get fixed and are sometimes folded into production.  
There are thousands of guys using K3s that include a fix that was developed 
using my radio as a prototype after I demonstrated it to an Elecraft engineer.  
(It also involved vibration by the way and two months in the Elecraft hospital)

I've had similar experiences recently with the same chorus singing, "We don't 
see it here", when I reported issues with the ARRL NPOTA website and the 
software for my DG8SAQ network analyzer.  Even posting screen shots won't 
convince some of the naysayers.  It takes one other guy saying he sees it too, 
then it gets addressed.  In the DG8SAQ case, he saw it personally and fixed the 
software.  Of course, he's competent, the ARRL problem is ongoing.

Don't let them get you down.
