I had been having some trouble with my 70MHz transverter not working on tx or Rx with the K3. Opened the transverter and the K3 and checked.
Just installed new BNC cables freshly made by me and it springs into life.
Here's what happens to cheap pre-manufactured cables that don't work

After only 3 years my "temporary" antennas have now been replaced with the real ones. The plan went smoothly, just a while after I had thought it would get done. #hamradio

I'm not sure that HF radios are supposed to go swimming! Turned out the car boot leaked and filled the spare wheel area where the rigs were. Water poured out the bottom of the case!
No damage done by the looks of it. Needs to dry out before I re-fit. Going to test the boot seals though!
