[Elecraft] Unusual problem with KPA500

My problem only occurs on 160 meters. If the KPA500 is in stand-by I receive no signals on the K3S. Simply switching the amp to operate lets signals pass. I have tied different antennas jacks on the KAT500 and the problem remains. I sent an email to Elecraft support about a week ago and have not

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,    Twenty meters was busy.  The RTTY folks were on 14050 and above.  The WES folks were below 14050.  I found a spot, and held it, from 2150z onward.  However, I only had one station find me. I did pick up a stray from New York while waiting to start the net.  Weather reports

Unassembled Heathkits have sold for amazing amounts of money.  (I use the past tense because I doubt there any of those treasures left these days.) I have even heard of people "making" an unassembled kit by  buying a built one, taking it apart, unsoldering all the components, and replacing

Re: [Elecraft] K3 assembly issue

Hi Adrian, welcome to the hobby and to the Elecraft list, Wow, that's quite a collector's item! I'd consider asking Elecraft what they'd charge to assemble and align for you. John KN5L On 2/14/21 3:32 PM, KJ7SOY wrote: > Hi everyone! I’m new to the list and to Elecraft radios and HAM in

Same as "MAC" for the computer, or an urban legend -- they picked it up somewhere and repeated it and someone else picks it up from them. On Sun, Feb 14, 2021, 17:31 Gwen Patton wrote: > Just don't scream "ham". It's not an acronym, and there's no reason to put > it in all caps. I have no idea

Re: [Elecraft] K3 assembly issue

Just don't scream "ham". It's not an acronym, and there's no reason to put it in all caps. I have no idea why people keep insisting on capitalizing it? I know it's off-topic, but why do people do that? Does anyone know? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 5:26 PM Bill

Adrian, If you can find no solder bridges, then Yes, replace the regulator. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/13/2021 9:15 PM, KJ7SOY wrote: Hi everyone! I’m new to the list and to Elecraft radios and HAM in general. Thanks for bearing with me while I learn! I picked up an unassembled K3 at an auction

[Elecraft] K3 assembly issue

Hi everyone! I’m new to the list and to Elecraft radios and HAM in general. Thanks for bearing with me while I learn! I picked up an unassembled K3 at an auction three weeks ago. It’s been sitting in a box with most of the boards sealed in their anti-static bags since 2009. I’ve hit a snag and

[Elecraft] KXPA100 Fault on ANT1

@ N7WA Hi Dink Many thanks for your help. It turned out to be the same issue as you experienced. After removing the ANT1 SO239 connection from the ATU board I’ve measured also a shorted cable. To be sure that there are no other issues, I connected the ANT2 SO239 to ANT1 on the ATU board and
