[Elecraft] KX3-> KXPA100=> KPA500 ... Can it be done?

Looking for a little QRO in my alternate station... I would like to be able to run my KX3 into my KXPA100 amplifier, and that into my KPA500 amp. How do I do that? Thanks __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 strange response

How did you determine that the cables seem "fine". Did you do a continuity measurement on each pin? Did you check for shorts between adjacent pins. If selecting 12 meters on the K3 produces 6 meters on the KPA500, then there may be something awry with the BAND1 data output from the K3 to

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 strange response

Solved. It was one of the cables. Anyway I believe so. I took the KAT out of the control loop and all is well with one of the cables but bad news with the other. Must be intermittent as it ohm 'd ok. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 3, 2016, at 8:05 PM, Harlan Sherriff

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 strange response

Both cables seem ok. Also, if I select 12m on K3, the KPA goes to 6m. I'm just a little confused. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 3, 2016, at 8:05 PM, Harlan Sherriff wrote: > > Tom > They both seem fine. > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Aug 3, 2016, at 5:50 PM, tomb18

[Elecraft] K1 tilt stand bail- how to make

This is from my own personal 'wayback' records source not evident to me with short notice. Alt #2 - "The Never Fail Cheap & Dirty K1 Bail"; (with apologies to Tom, =N0SS, and his probe) Take a piece of 15" long by 3/32 - 1/8" diameter sol=id wire (a heavy duty coat hanger works great!).

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 - updating firmware

Pete, Fine that you are using an FTDI USB to serial adapter - but what is the connection from the DE-9 conncetor on that adapter to the KX2. If it is the KXSERa cable, then it should work fine, but if you have wired your own DE-9 to 3.5mm cable, then check it to make certain it has the
