Does work the contact form?
|
I want to ask if the tech support contact form on the Elecraft site does work. I tried to order the "Rubber Switch Array", part # E100200 to solve my problems with intermittent action of the front panel buttons but after longer time (~ a week) still no reply. Is there any better way to get help?

I have been waiting several weeks for a response also.

I beleive the 2M module was about $390 and another $30 if you do not have the internal ATU. I may be off a few bucks.

You can buy the Ukrainian 2 meter transverter for 80 dollars on eBay. It should just tie right in to transverter inputs on K3. Just my thoughts

Beware, we have tested the standard 2m and 70cm transverters and the mixer products are DIRE. From memory they are only down 10dB on the main signal even at 100mW output. There is now a so called high dynamic range model which uses a ring mixer and we have yet to test those so I cannot comment on their performance. Andy G4HUE

When most others are selling transverters for $450 and up, what
could one expect for an $80 device. About $80 worth of
performance. 73 Bob, K4TAX

There is often a contrary relationship between "cheap" and "good."

There's a reason why quality stuff like Elecraft and Down East Microwave costs more. 73, Jim K9YC

Obviously that’s why they recommend only using about 2 watts output (10 watt unit) on the Ukrainian transverter. Guess that is supposed to keep the IMD down to a manageable level.

The answer to whether the contact form works or not is a " NO " from me.
Well, not yet anyway. 73 Bob G4DBW

I will shortly have a K3S for sale that already has the 144 MHz internal transverter installed.

Curuous as to what you will be asking for it and options in it? Thanks, Mike, N3BUD Sent from my T-Mobile 5G Device

The figures are better than -10dB, but it's not a stellar product. Especially the 2m version isn't entirely bad (for 70cm, the 28 MHz IF is just too near; IF should be >>10% of the output frequency)
