Seeking an Elmer to help with a new K3s via remotehams

[Terence Dowling]

I have a recently assembled K3s and K3/0-mini. I can successfully
connect and control the radio with RCForb Client (0.8.6000.13812)
but I don't have good results with the radio.

Problem could be:

1) UBD (user brain damage) - this is my first HF radio...
2) I made some mistake assembling the K3s
3) I have an antenna or cable problem
4) there is too much RF at the radio qth
5) small chance there was a defective part in the K3s kit
6) something else

Since I'm new at this and there are so many unknowns I'm
not making progress so I'm asking for gentle help from
someone who has a K3/0-mini and remotehams capability.

Radio is located at BL20cf (Kapa'au, HI - North Kohala,
Big Island, Hawaii).

Off-line email contact please.

Terry,

It seems like you are trying to do too much at one time.
Back off a little and verify that the K3S is working properly. Transmit
into a dummy load so you do not disturb others on the air.

Once you have verified that the K3S is "doing its thing" correctly, then
add the K3/0 along with the software applications.

The "expert" at Elecraft for remote operation is Brandon.  When you have
verified that the base K3S is operating as expected, contact Brandon
[hidden email] for additional assistance with the remote operation.

73,
Don W3FPR

I discovered that f
