Don, First check the DC voltage at RF Board U6 pin 5 - it should be 4 volts (or 1/2 the 8 volt regulator output voltage). If it is not correct, you have a problem with the thermistor board - most likely a solder bridge. You should have 8 volts at the thermistor board pin 8. If that is not

Hi folks, Got to the subject location on my K2 kit #7818, and am having some difficulties with the tests. My frequency counter, when touched to the left side of trimmer capacitor C22, reads 3999.98 on the LCD. This makes me believe there is no problem with the frequency counter probe that I

[Elecraft] K3 problem after latest sw update

2018-09-26 Thread pa0kv
Hi! Yesterday I updated my K3's sw. After some shutdown and startups it came up as normal. But there is no reception. I get noise from my antenna. Unplug the antenna, no noise. Send a signal in the air on the tuned frequency ... nothing. No S-meter, no biep. What went wrong? I did

My KXPA100 order hit on a day when it was raining fairly heavily. The UPS driver clearly thought we wouldn't be home for some reason -- perhaps too cynical? I don't know -- so he didn't bother to carry it the 14 lb box to the house. Maybe he didn't want to have to carry it back to the van in the

Well I'll confess to being in the USPS supporter camp. I've had great service from them. My KPA1500 even came Priority Mail. I use the addressing scheme below too. I have a POB and another great free PO service is Informed delivery. Every morning I get an email with pictures of mail for

Just my opinion, but I can't get USPS to reliably deliver my mail on a regular basis. No way am I trusting them with a high value package. I hate and dread it when I order something and it starts out UPS or FedEx and ends up "smart posting" through USPS the last mile. The few times I've tried to

One semi-related warning: Avoid DHL. I ordered a piece of furniture from Italy, which included a glass-top table. It arrived in a wooden crate, which looked perfect from the outside, but the glass was totally shattered inside. They mist have dropped it on its edge from a good height, or dropped
