K3 Utility help in England, please

[E Turk]

Dear UK K3 owners,

This email is a request for some help in troubleshooting my recently acquired K3.  It is an early model Ser No 104 and has been hardly used.  I suspect I am suffering from front panel to RF board pin corrosion problems since K3 utility fails to connect and comes up with the error 'connected device does not appear to be an Elecraft K3' - this with both Mac OSX and Win 7.  Despite this I get perfect comms with MacLogger DX running on Mac OSX.

I would be most grateful if there is anyone in the area near Daventry or Rugby who could spare a little time to plug their computer in to my K3 and demonstrate wether it is me or the K3 who is crazy!!

If your shack is as disgusting as mine, (and are equally embarrassed by it) we could always meet at the Rugby Amateur Transmitting Society, my local club.

73, Ted G7BQM

A little advice from a Yank. Check with Elecraft. There may be free gold
replacement pins for your K3.
