My K3/100, one of the oldest I suspect [S/N 642], began having problems
understanding which button I was pushing -- any given button would
produce varying results depending on which button, how hard I pressed
it, when I'd last eaten, and the phase of the moon. The KPOD did the
same thing so I figured it was the front panel pins. Elecraft sort of
verified that and that I probably could handle the replacement and sent
me a box with two in-line gold plated connectors. Apparently realizing
that I was actually going to plug in the soldering station and dismantle
the radio, the K3 and KPOD began working flawlessly. I will leave the
unopened box on the shelf above the K3 and the solder station cold ...
we'll see how long it takes for the radio to forget that I'm going to do
the surgery if ever needed.
I purchased my K3/100 at Pacificon and I wish I remembered when but it
was a long time ago. I've considered a K4 but I know how to work my K3
and I'm not keen on learning how to work a new radio with a much bigger
computer and way more functionality.
