[Elecraft] KIO3b Failure

[David Gilbert]

If that test jig involves any appreciable expense, let me know and I'll 
try to pitch in.  I don't have an immediate need but I'd be happy to try 
to help out those who do.

I have a test jig for the KLPA3x I built after having a series of failures... after that it was easy to fix them (some improved cooling and new RD15's straightened that right out)..
