[Elecraft] KPA100 hi-current problem after build

Just finishing up a KPA 100 kit for my k2 and am running into a problem I'm up to the SWR Bridge Null Adjustment on page 44. I set up the power to 5 watts (connected to a dummy load), and I get a Hi Current message followed by a reduced output reading. I checked the dummy load on an antenna

Re: [Elecraft] Drift-K1

AHA!!Now I understand. I installed the backlight at the same time that I built my K1 so I never came across the instructions to use it as a spacer...although it sure seems thicker than the gap between the display and the backlight but I'm going just from memory. So for those of you who

Re: [Elecraft] 20 amp fuse

Hi Steve: Though I'm not using that specific holder, I AM using a blade-type fuse holder, model 115LF ($2.95) , (purchased from www.wb0w.com (no, actually purchased from www.gcplus.com, the connectors/terminals/fuses side of his company, run by his XYL, Jean). This fuse holder uses #8 wire

RE: Slight Correction - [Elecraft] 20 amp fuse

Let me throw in an experience here that may save someone else a little confusion. When I built my KPA100 the kit was complete EXCEPT for one half of the fuse holder. I was building it over a Thanksgiving weekend so I didn't even consider calling Aptos for the part. I just hopped down to the local

Re: [Elecraft] PLL es BFO range test

Hi Dave, Sorry I missed you the first time. I would think that your problem is not that the PLL reference oscillator and BFO ranges aren't being displayed; I think your problem is that the ranges are incorrect. I had the same problem with the BFO range when I was building my K2. I

RE: [Elecraft] xv222

Ron, I have got to admit it, but the last time I had such a problem, I hunted for a while and then discovered that the oscillator transistor was mounted backwards (I never do something like that G) - changed it and the problem was gone. What I am saying is that you should check and re-check

[Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Greetings from Argentina. I am building K2 # 5310 I have purchased all Rework Eliminators (they were a breeze to install, by the way and are very neat indeed!) and I have all K2 options except 60 meters, i.e. 160mtrs - DSP - NB - K2/100 - SSB. I have completed part II of the RF board and the

RE: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Manuel, If you can receive a signal with an antenna connected to C225, but not C226, or 227, your most likely problem is improperly tinned toroid leads on L25 - but check L26 while you are working in that area. A quick check is to make a continuity check from the top end of C225 to the top end

Re: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Don: By the way: when I get to C225 the signal disappears. I have signal through the junction of D3 D4. Therefore no signal on C225, C226 and C227. I checked the toroids and they are ok. I forgot to mention I purchased the full set of toroids from the Toroid Guy and they look impeccable. I

Hello, Over the winter time I have been struggling with going out and setting up my WA3WSJ's VBWFPA antenna, www.wa3wsj.com. The present mounting system is PVC tubing that you need to drive into the ground. Needless to say when the ground is frozen or there are a lot of rock in the soil the

RE: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Manuel, Sorry, I had understood (incorrectly) that you had a signal at C225, but if not, there is something between your good D3, D4 junction and C225 that is bad. Check C114, Jumper W1 (or your unmodule at the 160 meter position and the header), and relay K12. There are no other components in

Re: [Elecraft] K2 RECEIVER: WHERE ARE THE SIGNALS?

Hi Manuel Look and re-look for an incorrectly placed component (or a component with improper orientation) this is the most common problem Now in Portuguese... Ve os componentes pois o mais frequente é teres trocado a posição (transistors o contrário ou os diodos). Good luck Manel I'm very
