Re: [Elecraft] Mobile from 117 VAC

2017-10-08 Thread Erik Basilier
The 117V AC may be produced by the vehicle using an inverter similar to those sold as separate devices. Years ago I was using one of those and found out that they would not allow the ground pin on the AC outlet to be connected to the 12V minus connection. If that is the case, you would have to

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 SSB ALC Mic Gain - a new problem

2017-10-08 Thread Ron D'Eau Claire
It's worth checking continuity through the cord as well. The wires in the stretch cords do sometimes break. I used to service radios on large ships, and broken stretch cord wires on the VHF bridge radios were common. The wire usually looked fine - the insulation was intact - but the stranded wire

Dear Don & Group, Thanks for your suggestions. After some more exploration, I think the problem is the MH3 and here's why: Backing down the mic gain didn't help and neither did a firmware reload. I was suspicious of the MH3 being at fault, as the ALC / Mic gain adjustment remained perfectly
