Re: [Elecraft] [K3] K3 - intermittent CW chirp

Thanks Tim! The width setting doesn't affect it here either as it turns out. What does affect it however is which roofing filter I use which in turn incidentally is switched by using the width control. Your findings made me look more and I do still have chirp but with the different filter

Has anyone managed to get Fldigi for Windows version 3.12.3 working with their K3? The last version that worked was 3.11.5. The new version just hangs, never appears on screen, and has to be terminated. If I clear the configuration folder it will start, but hangs when pointed at the K3.xml file.

Hi Ed, The manual indicates that the LED will come on if an unrecognized command is issued by the controler chip. Did the modification change anything on the connector J3? In off-chance, disconnect the two PCBs, clean the connectors and re-assemble? Just some off-the cuff thoughts. Duane N1BBR

Hideki, With power off, check the resistance from the source of Q9 to ground. If you can check from the lead of Q9 rather than the solder connection. If it is not zero ohms, you have a soldering problem there. If the source of Q9 is well grounded, next check the voltage at the Q9 gate
