[Elecraft] Fusing power cable on K3

[David Wilcox]

Thank you everyone who responded.  My “new” K3 is now sitting in the place of honor next to my old favorite K2.  Now to read all the volumes of K3 manuals (for all the included upgrades) by Elecraft and the late Fred Cady to find out what all the knobs and buttons do.

Yes, Hi Bill.  Was great to see you again after all these years.
