[Elecraft] WTB: KAT3A tuner Module

[Gary Smith]

A follow-up;

While I still would like to buy an excess 
KAT3A for my K3 & if you have one, please 
contact me off-list. It turns out my KAT3A 
is now working perfectly at this time

Before I packed it up to send back for 
repair I looked at the socket and noticed 
they were not gold pins, only the male 
pins on the main board are gold. I doubt 
there would be corrosion so soon but 
what's to lose?

I dripped some Deoxit 100 in and let it 
set a few minutes, then squirted regular 
15% deoxit with its 85% lube, cleaned and 
reinstalled it. The KAT3A is now working 
perfectly on 160 again and as before, all 
the other bands are also working.

I emailed Elecraft to let them know I 
don't need the RMA and won't be sending it 
in. Glad they were there and willing had I 
needed to get it repaired.

73 all,
