WTB: KAT3A tuner Module

[Gary Smith-2]

Looks like I need a replacement KAT3A
tuner. Weighing the cost of
repair/replacement, I wonder if anyone has
one that they did not use, are not
needing?

If so, please contact me off list with the
details.

73,

A follow-up;

While I still would like to buy an excess
KAT3A for my K3 & if you have one, please
contact me off-list. It turns out my KAT3A
is now working perfectly at this time

Before I packed it up to send back for
repair I looked at the socket and noticed
they were not gold pins, only the male
pins on the main board are gold. I doubt
there would be corrosion so soon but
what's to lose?

I dripped some Deoxit 100 in and let it
set a few minutes, then squirted regular
15% deoxit with its 85% lube, cleaned and
reinstalled it. The KAT3A is now working
perfectly on 160 again and as before, all
the other bands are also working.

I emailed Elecraft to let them know I
don't need the RMA and won't be sending it
in. Glad they were there and willing had I
needed to get it repaired.

73 all,
