Deaf K3 #768

G4MKP

I reported to the list on Sunday, a ‘deaf’ K3. The impact of this was receive levels at about 50dB down from stations measured on my spare receiver - slightly better with the pre-amp on. Elecraft support asked me to remove the KXV3 and jumper J66 pins 8-10, 13-15. Receiver sensitivity back to normal – phew! Board replacement necessary.

 

This will somewhat limit my antenna configuration for CQWW this coming weekend – I like to use a horizontal wire on 40m receive – although I guess I could use the Antenna B position?

 

Although the supply of the replacement board is not yet finalised, I must commend Gary Surrency from support for his patience and diligence in helping me fault find and resolving the issue. Nice people to deal with.

 

Cheers,
