Welcome to the ELECRAFT K3 Wiki at ZeroBeat.NET

Welcome to the K3 Wiki at ZeroBeat.net

The goal of the K3 Wiki is to provide a reference for the new high=20 performance transceiver from Elecraft, the "K3".

This should provide one stop shopping for K3 information at many = levels,=20 reducing the need to post the same questions over and over on the = Elecraft=20 reflector, which is focused primarily on answering questions about kit=20 construction or new ideas and suggestions.

Also feel free to make changes to any existing pages with respect to = accuracy=20 in content, spelling, or grammar. Just click on the "discussion" tab = located to=20 the right of the K3 photo and provide the changes that are desired. The = sysops=20 will come around periodically and update the pages with the discussion = text.=20 Include your email address if you are available to be contacted about = any change=20 you submit. All submitted material is subject to review of the sysops. = Your=20 excellent sysops are Thomas LaCosta - k3hrn at zerobeat.net, and = Don=20 Rasmussen - wb8yqj at yahoo.com.
