K3/100/F
Locked
 
|
Hello
This is my first message to this reflector, so if I mess things up don't be supprised. I have some questions about the K3/100/F. I just ordered one and will not have it for a couple weeks. Is there any "gotchas" that I need to know about before I start messing around with it? The only accessory I order with it is the internal antenna tunner. I have never even seen one except in pictures, but like the things I hear about it. I have had four K2's in the past and it looks like the K3 is totally different from that. So any information about it will be new to me! 73 Scott N5SM ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Howdy Scott, If you've had K2's then you probably will get used to the K3 pretty quick. Some suggestions: Plug an antenna into the top antenna port on the back (antenna #1) Turn the power on and start playing with it while you read the manual. When you see a control your not familiar with look it up in the manual and practice what the manual say's with that control. You can download the manual from here http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K2%20Errata%20H-2.pdf Browse it while youre waiting for the rig. That will get you going and EXCITED about the rig.
