[Elecraft] FW: RE: K3 RX Issue?

[Gary K9GS]

Hello Lee,My K3 developed a similar problem. It turned out to be D5 PIN diode on the KXV3 Board.  It's on its way back from Wilcox Engineering,  W3DVX, and should arrive tomorrow. I could hear a few very loud signals and transmitted fine.  I checked the usual, wrong antenna selected, RX antenna selected. Band selection did not matter.You can see the blown diode in the upper left corner of the attached picture. (Had to delete the picture as the reflector didn't like)73,Gary K9GS
