[Elecraft] [KX3] RX I/Q signals reversed on 2m

2014-11-03 Thread Matt VK2RQ
That's interesting, the RX I/Q signal lines appear to be reversed when operating the KX3 on 2m. I guess this makes sense, if you consider the 2m module is using the x4 output of the KX3's local oscillator, so that if you tune to 144MHz for example, the LO would be running at 48MHz, so that in

I just found out that there's a Rework Kit E850607 for the KPA500. It replaces Q5 (a FET) with a Darlington Transistor. The kit also includes a Zener Diode, resistors and capacitors and includes changes to the 12 meter LP filter. The kit applies to board REV D9 or earlier. - Jack WA9FVP

Of course, this is taken care of automatically in the PX3 :-) Many of the better SDR Console software packages include a configuration option to swap I/Q above 'N' MHz ... works for KX3 on 144 MHz and K3 on 50 MHz. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2014-11-03 9:41 AM, Matt VK2RQ wrote: That's

[Elecraft] KPA500 is always warmed up

I bet this has been asked and answered before. My new amp works perfectly. Another engineering masterpiece from Elecraft. Is it normal for the amp to be warm all the time whether it is on or off? Mine feels warm on the bottom and shows about 32C when everything else in the shack is 24C to

Hello Bob, I would like to thank YOU for your trip to 4W. I was down to my last 4 zones needed on 80M and putting you in the log recently took that number down to three zones left. Fantastic job with an HF9V for sure! You had a very good signal on 80M. The best part was a confirmation on

You may have to put it in CW-R mode to get on the opposite sideband.  Although I would think one would use digital soundcard programs in DATA-A mode. Sent from my U.S. Cellular® Smartphone div Original message /divdivFrom: David Cole d...@nk7z.net /divdivDate:11/03/2014 8:53

Hi, I have tried that... Same thing happens, the radio acts exactly the same... It is some interaction with MixW I think... If I load FLDigi, I get the same action, only all the time... I have disabled the bands.ini in MixW to test, and that seems to make no difference... -- Thanks and

[Elecraft] P3 Span limits in Fixed Tune mode

I generally operate CW at 20KHz spans, with the bottom edge of the screen at an even 20 KHz boundary. Seems to work well, occasionally I'll find it different, not sure why. In SS CW, I noticed that my lower span boundary was often 5 KHz up from the normal value ... such as 14025. It seemed

Hi Fred, When the K3 VFO A frequency gets outside of the P3 displayed span, the P3 center frequency may change to keep VFO A on-screen, depending on the setting of the FixMode menu setting. If you set FixMode to Static then the displayed range should not change no matter what the K3 is
