K3 Northwest Workshop!!!

Who:

K3 Owners
Those seriously interested in the K3

When:

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Starts at 10:00 AM sharp. Best to arrive 10 or 15 minutes early.

Where:

KK7P's Lab
18345 Osprey Ct
Mt Vernon WA 98274

(You can get directions from < URL:http://maps.google.com > with the
above address)

What:

K3 Workshop

The goals are:

a) help anyone with a K3 to become more familiar with it;
b) allow non-owners a chance to get a good, hard, hands-on look at the
radio;
c) provide a forum to allow owners to share their tips or experiences;
d) assist with mods/updates.

Schedule:

10:00 Welcome
10:05 KK7P Presentation: Distributed Engineering and the K3
10:45 Questions (and perhaps answers) and Tips

11:00 Demo of K3 Basic Modes of Operation
11:20 Demo of K3 Utility including Regular and Beta Firmware Updating
11:30 Demo of Diversity Reception
11:40 Demo of DVR!
11:50 Demo of 3rd Party Panadaptor(s)

12:00 Light Lunch and just hanging out

13:00 Prize Drawing (for K3 Owners only)
13:05 Help Folks with Mods on their K3s

Cost:

Free!

But please RSVP. My lab is not infinite in size :-) I can easily
handle 15 people. 20 gets a little tight...

Further Information:

The intent is to be interactive, open, and participatory.

If you need a hardware mod on your K3, it is up to you to have the mod
kit in hand and to bring your K3 to the workshop. I'll provide
microscope, solder, tools, workspace and assistance.

The prize is TBD but but will likely be something like a 5-pole roofing
filter, or perhaps a KBPF3 or a DVR.

Hope to see you on the 22nd!

73,

Lyle KK7P

Gee this would have been fun and interesting, too bad I´m far away.
By the way, just remember that I once did buy a car in Mt Vernon,
a loooong time ago.

An update on this event.

First, thank you for your overwhelming interest!

We now have 15 confirmed technical attendees, two non-technical
attendees, and two maybes.

A question came up about handicapped accessibility. My home is not
wheelchair accessible. The front steps *may* be negotiable with some
help, but my lab is upstairs, and the sanitary necessities are not
suitable for a wheelchair.

Others have asked about videotaping the sessions, or putting something
on YouTube. There are no facilities here for doing this.

We may still be able to squeeze in a few more people...

73,

Lyle KK7P
