k3 and k4 are AF calibration procedure numbering, as in 33k3-4- and 33k4-4-.  k3 is generally electronics and K4 is generally microwave.  though k1 and k8 is low freq/dc/multimeter type stuff. (electrical)  if the terminology isn't exact, it's close

Elsewhere on the forum I have posted the best I could find who has every contract PMEL.  Also Hickam was supposed to go civil service but 00-20-14 doesn't reflect that. I did recently see a CS posting for Hickam though.

and K9 isn't really used much that I see. Automated procedures end up becoming -10. The K number stems from 00-5-18 I believe. Technical Order Numbering System.

Bionetics corporation is currently running the lab.  It is a tech
II position (5 to 7 level) and we would prefer an RF/Microwave tech with somewhat recent PMEL experience especially with the newer standards such as the MMR as we use it on a daily basis. 
Any folks seriously interested in the position are
encouraged contact the site manager Mike Calarco at
[email protected] for more specific details.

Broken Wings;
K9 is used frequently.  The designation should be Automated Test Stations.  These are the big repair and checkout stations at a depot level facility like Hill and Tinker.  The K9 procedures are the calibration procedures for these stations.
