K3s receiver gain calibration failure
Hi Bob, Yeah it's puzzling why it doesn't work for me. Maybe I'll try downloading the utility again, a fresh copy. Then try again. Dale, K9VUJ

Kieth S-meter goes to 50 over with full counter clockwise of RF gain. Would K3 utility show a incomplete if using the default gain cal? Dale, K9VUJ

Static in the ham shack
There is chemical to add to the water in a humidifier. Mold and stuff shouldn't be a problem especially with the wick type humidifiers. The old drum type like I have has a pool of standing water that

Echoing what others have mentioned, get the humidity up, add a humidifier, Usually basements are more humidified than the upper floors. Bonding also is needed because you don't want to zap the delicat

K3s spares and repair
I suspect there is opportunity for some good techs to go into repairing older Elecraft gear. The parts situation might improve over time, I think it will. When needing repairs look to alternative mom

Pros / Cons Using P3 with & without SVGA
I couldn't update my SVGA board either and I use a Mac. Just guessing, but maybe there's a bug in the Mac utility. Dale, K9VUJ

Ken, Ok, I see the switch in the assy manual, but I do not have a switch in that position. Instead there are at least three leaded resistors in place of it. It looks like some kind of board change. I

With Elecraft K3, 4 or 5 bars of ALC is the equal to 0 ALC in most other mfg radios. So as others have said, set ALC to 4 or 5 bars. Dale, K9VUJ
