Re: [Elecraft] K3 powers off when after several minutes of 12W carrier

Same result if the K3 is run at 12W without the KPA500. This is a K3 I bought used; I guess I may have forgotten to check the power calibrations on it. Will try that next. 73, Erik K7TV -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf

[Elecraft] K3 powers off when after several minutes of 12W carrier

I have been testing sustained power capabilities of wideband HF transformers for feeding EFHW antennas. This involves running high power through HF transformers back to back into a dummy load. When running 200W out of the KPA500, the K3 was indicating 12W, and I think that means the 100W PA was

Bill, Win4K3 offers the possibility of remote operation. In addition, it offers virtual ports (COM0COM) to connect several other applications to the transceiver - like CW Skimmer and logger applications. There is a built-in panadapter and support for SDRplay. The rig control is only a small

Great ideas to investigate, guys. I'll have to look into it over the next week. The problem never occurs with paddles unplugged, and I haven't seen it happen when plugged directly into the key jack on the radio. I'll report back when I figure it out, or if I don't! 73 Chip AE5KA On Tue, Mar 27,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 key autodetect problems

Hi Chip, Not saying this is your problem but my Bencher twin paddles started going random nuts. The contact gap is small, less than the thickness of a sheet of 70gm paper. During keying it would stick one side or the other. It turned out to be the screws fastening the contact pillars not

Some models are sturdier than others. The newer ones I have are much more rigid and don't sag (much) with the weight of one of our amplifiers. The slats on my earlier ones are about 1" wide with maybe 1/2" gaps in between. The slats on the sturdier ones are 3" wide, and there are three slats.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 key autodetect problems

Does it happen when the paddle is NOT plugged in? If not, suspect the paddle jack. FWIW, I also used this method to allow the K2 to be keyed by the N1MM program. I mounted the diodes on the control board of the K2 and brought out the keying line via the ALC pin on the DE9 connector, since I

I have the external circuit using two diodes to allow the K2 to detect when a straight key is used instead of the paddles. Occasionally with the paddle plugged in but not keyed, the K2 will spontaneously start sending a string of dashes. This will terminate, sometimes only briefly, when I do key
