I met you at Pacificon in 2007. I don't have the date since it is not
on my badge. I too bought a K3/100 from Lisa at that time. I find a
stern look often makes software work flawlessly. Though this effect may
only be in my mind ;)

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.
