You shouldn't be. It's a 20x multiplier.
5w in. 100w out.

Don't forget that the configuration will contain calibration settings that are
specific to the hardware on a particular radio -- if you try to transfer them
to a different radio, they will not be valid for the new hardware, and you'll
need to repeat the alignment procedures. I am guessing that

*Matt,
DOH!..I missed that also. You are correct I suspect.
Come to think of it, the two K3's I was using had similar HW specs and
options but were not identical and therefore would not have worked the same.
It did me good to go through the procedure of setting up all the K3 'user'
settings and
Hi,
i invested a bit of time to analyze the config-file ..
There are different information inside this file
- some are dedicated to a single device (calibration values,...) and should
never be shared
- some are interchangeable (settings, ... ) and could be shared, but had to
be rearranged
That was not quite the idea between the lines, Holger, but you are right: I
was only thinking of my two K3's which are software- and hardwarewise 100%
identical. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to configure a transceiver with
different options installed.
Thanks for pointing that out and thanks to

Hi Scott,
I'm going to assume you are talking about a K3 here (red light comes

- While in TEST mode, I adjusted my sound card output to show a solid 4

Scott,
Which Elecraft radio are you using K2, K3, KX3?
Which mode are you using?
Are you driving the audio sufficiently? With Elecraft gear on digital
modes, you must ignore the common advice to set the power to full and
adjust the audio level to get the desired power - that will result in
When you say you can't hear, do you see signal traces on the WSPR waterfall

Hi All,
Actually, I think this thread is totally relevant to this reflector given
the fact that it has the capability of mating nicely to the KX3! It's not
like we are discussing something that bears absolutely no relationship to an
Elecraft product.
In any event, I would add a few comments
David and Don, I will have a ten segment bar-meter to show output
power (and maybe reflected) power on my amps. But no connection to
feed K3 or KX3 with SWR data. The AN762 and EB27A both will have a
PTC to control a fan. and LED for overtemp indication. No plans to
include SWR/overtemp
Roy,
One thing to try is to program a memory on the K3 to send the PSK31 and see
if you're also missing characters using that method. Performing this test
would help identify where the problem is.

Why do you need that connection? As long as the amp has its own swr

If the load goes bad the amp protects itself, stays in

From the Apple web site and other places, it looks like the camera adapter is
