I agree with Gregg, the best one for "you" is the one that fits your needs. All are "good" and some are "best" depending on your application. Mel, K6KBE

Any word on the higher power amplifiers or other products from the convention??? Mel, K6KBE

Hi Brad, My name is Mel and I built the K3 100. Yes, you can build the kit as no soldering is involved, but like me, we share a problem handling very small parts. I used an 12 egg crate to sort out al

You are OK. Look at the numbers. 14 VDC divided by 2500 ohms in only a little over 5.5 mA. To see if I could repeat your situation I put the ohmmeter on the power leads and let the thing settle and it

Hi Bob, Did you do the preliminary Ohm checks on page 44 after the power receptacle check? On my K3, I get >50k in one direction and reversing the leads I get a reading that starts at about 20K and go

While I answered the poll, I agree that a lot of us are just dyed in the wool experimenters and tinkering is in our blood. Mel

Oppppps. You are right. Senior moment, Mel

I have been using the K3 for a couple of months and after the initial beat note calibration of the ref osc, I find the other stations telling me I am low by about 25 Hz. Any attempt to move the ref ca

I have reset the clock several times and it continues to run slow. About 15 seconds a day and continues that pace. Any suggestions? Mel, K6KBE

I have replaced my external Philips head hardware with Black, Button,or Flathead Allen head ones from: http://www.mcmaster.com/. I little pricey, but no more ugly worn Philips. A thought. Mel, K6KBE

Well, this thread has made a record of sorts. LISTEN, this is a communication radio. The audio response of the detected signal is great. The way you listen to it is your choice. The internal speaker d

Search for Jameco go to tools and search for Antistatic. They have a wide selection and are resasonable. Cheers, Mel, K6KBE

What can anyone tell me about experience with this reset. I have a problem noted earlier where the power output is low after changing modes, memory, VFOs or bands. Hitting the Tune get full power outp

Thanks for the inputs. I did the filter install and the offsets. Still the same condition. It does not explain the "TUNE" fix. Still I think it has to do with some preset that the "TUNE" condition ove

I now have full power on all modes and all bands. However, I have a hickup. I have ver 2.46 and if I turn on the radio and key the mike on SSB, I only get approx half power, about 50 watts output. If

Thanks, it was. Found the PA bypass still engaged, darn. All is well now. Mel __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection

OK, so I did something wrong or maybe I didn't do something right. During assembly testing, pwr control showed 0-120 watts. The fans run, but after installing the PA, and finishing the calibration at

Thanks for the offer Wayne. I decided to lick my wounds and curl up and read the manual several more times and found the answer. While the setup for the CW and RTTY is correct, it leaves out the fact

Thanks, I did that and got it all centered, but no on display text??? Mel
