[Elecraft] KPA1500 issue
I had something like that happen with my KPA1500. The way to fix it is to unplug the amp, and plug it in. This happened to me when we had a SHORT power outage (both my K3s and KPA1500 were on). The Amps fans went on high and the control head power switch didn't turn it off, even the switch on the PS didn't turn it off (I think). I opened a ticket, #0479, with Elecraft support In January. Same 10v issue. Sent them logs, blah blah. No resolution and no further communication. I THINK there is some sort of problem with the line that communicates between the K3 and KPA1500. This issue is initiated by a very brief power outage. I was able to duplicate the problem. I sent all the info to Support, on how to duplicate the problem, but they never replied... Bottom line, the TEMPORARY fix is to 1. turn off the K3, 2. Unplug the Amp. Plug amp back in, and power up k3 (which should also power up the KPA1500). I have a UPS on the K3, but not the Amp (for obvious reasons). Hopefully, Elecraft will eventually fix this issue. 73 Nigel Wa6MSE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] KPA1500 issue
Good evening all. We have a K3S Setup with the K3S, panadpter, secondary knob, and a KPA1500. The amp has recently started something weird. When turned off, it will power cycle on for about a second, then turn off and repeat. The cooling fan comes on full speed, although nothing is warm. Turned on, it seems to act normally, although I didn’t press the issue much, just tuned into the antenna with low power. I did update to the latest firmwear, I know that part works. Looking at the fault log, I notice it mentions 10Volts, but I’m not certain how to interpret the rest of it. Possibly a fault in there somewhere. I do have a report into Elecraft, but I submitted it Friday afternoon, and a good chance there wasn’t anyone there at the time, and haven’t heard back yet. Anyone have anything similar happen? - 73 N3LI - - Michael Coslo - Frequency Coordinator, Beaver Stadium 814-404-3991 m...@psu.edu mjcn...@gmail.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] KPA1500 issue
While calling CQ in 6m, I glanced at the LCD and saw that it was lit up but blank. Pushing edit and status didn’t restore it. Turning off and back on did. ??
