[Elecraft] [K3S] Test Procedure

[Mark E. Musick]

You probably won't. 
The K3 or K3S is put in a test fixture and run for 24 hours before being
shipped after assembly, repair and/or upgrades.
I just talked to Elecraft in the last week about one of my K3s I had in for
upgrades and was told it would ship a day after being put in a test fixture
and going through a 24 hour burn in.
I take that to mean there is some sort of computer/microprocessor automation
that runs various tests on the K3 over a 24 hour period.
So there is probably no complete overall K3 test we as users can perform
other than what is in the K3 utility and/or specific tests for a specific
problem as directed to users by Elecraft support.
There may be someone (support, Wayne or Eric) who knows more than I that can
confirm or deny my assumption.
Even if we as users had such a procedure, how many users would have the test
equipment necessary to perform such tests? Plus running the risk that the
user(s) could mess up the works.
