Well-written post though. Even though I didn’t understand all the technical stuff, I could tell that it was definitely tense inside the “operating room”.Power Cableshttp://www.powerfirm.com.au/products/cables/power-cables/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-35241813356729799832012-07-05T06:16:58.252-04:002012-07-05T06:16:58.252-04:00Good morning Jaap, thanks for the comment regardin...Good morning Jaap, thanks for the comment regarding the post. Good to hear you were able to fix the K3. Your repairs make my removing a few components seem like a walk in the park compared to what you had to do to your rig. Thanks for stopping by the blog and taking the time to comment. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-29502577050869209092012-07-05T03:12:58.377-04:002012-07-05T03:12:58.377-04:00Good job and nice documented thanks for sharing. ...Good job and nice documented thanks for sharing. I have to do some surgery too. I have to replace 1 broken FET of the LPA.<br />Top foto the middle of the 3 FETS. I suddenly had the TXGERR and could not adjust PWR level. Elecraft diagnosis was fast and seems correct. Awaiting this FET 7€ to fix it.<br />An other surgery a real difficult one: I had to replace the header connectors at the KPA3 and its connection board to the main-board. Be careful to plug the KPA3 back-in. Or check the connectors for corrosion before. But Elecraft never lets you do down and replies quick.pa0ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064454183399874185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-80931786147170885612012-07-03T06:29:37.742-04:002012-07-03T06:29:37.742-04:00Good morning, thanks for the comments and I am ver...Good morning, thanks for the comments and I am very happy you enjoyed the info and found it to be helpful. I found that in the blog world things are very diverse. Some are technical while others are like a diary. I do find that most are a mix of both. There are certain flavors for all.VE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-17041892649582987592012-07-02T20:57:14.676-04:002012-07-02T20:57:14.676-04:00Thank you for posting useful and well-documented i...Thank you for posting useful and well-documented information about the K3 that's actually relevant, rather than showing it waiting on your doorstep, unboxing, assembly, and other drivel. It's refreshing to see real information, instead of demonstrating that one can follow a bulletproof assembly manual.

It was (as you know now) surgery for the K3. <br />The smoke test went just fine and the rig is up and running....now only if the sun would stop producing these dam solar flares. <br />Have a great week<br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-42448327624553691852012-07-02T15:11:59.710-04:002012-07-02T15:11:59.710-04:00Can't wait for the results of the smoke test.
