Last week, I sought help on this reflector in relation to the ERR 12V
problem that my K3 had developed.
The several replies I received from three different continents all pointed
me the same way and Elecraft confirmed the diagnosis.
I ordered the parts on 22 December and they arrived in today's post late
morning. This afternoon, I undertook the necessary repairs involving
partial replacement of one of the KPA3 power connectors.
The progress was slightly impeded as I found that my Hako 808 desoldering
tool, which I had not used for several years, no longer worked. Thus I was
reduced to using my soldering iron and a small manual vacuum solder sucker.
I got there eventually !
The rig went back together without difficulty and has passed the initial
test into a dummy load with flying colours, maximum power being achieved on
all bands.
Tomorrow I will put it back into one of my operating positions.
Thanks to all who provided help and advice, to Elecraft with their super
fast response and to the US Postal Service and Australia Post who both
excelled over the Christmas period.
