I operated my HF-2V vertical for about 10 years with 6 radials. Then, I
added 60 more for 66 total radials. I thatched the living bejesus out of
my back lawn, stapled down the radials bolted to a DXE SS plate, and the
lawn regrew, the radials never to be seen again.
The difference was
Your questions regarding if you can use a KPA100 and KPA1500 together has
been recently asked on this list and the answer was YES.
I suspect, as K9YC noted, that the real issue is with your antenna. You did
not specify exactly what you have tried. A 1/4 vertical with a decent
counterpoise will
I too have a 6BTV. It used to have 50 radials. They were a pain in the
whatchum, always getting caught by the weed whacker. But
they made a big difference in the performance of the antenna.
Now, it has one "radial". Actually an Ufer ground, consisting of a
concrete slab, 70 feet long by 10

Most (but not all) verticals need radials to transmit a decent signal.
A vertical that needs radials is a lousy TX antenna without them.
Right.
I use a 6BTV, which is a 6-band trap vertical about 24 ft tall. With a
barefoot K4 at 100W I get out quite well.
Hi Karl,
I suspect your problem may be the antennas you've tried, which are not
wonderful for 75/80M. Almost any antenna will receive well if you don't
have a lot of noise, but transmitting a strong signal needs a better
one, and well installed.
How far are you from the nets you're trying
I have a KX3 and a KPA100 amplifier but despite various attempts at verticals,
end feds, OCFs, and loops, am unable to call anyone, especially on Elecraft 80
m Sunday nets on 3.784 or 3.786. Reception is adequate with most 5/8 or 5/9 and
verify against the call- in list. A lot of people seem to
The pending sale of the K3 #5024 was sold. Thanks to everyone that

Harald;
What is the serial # of the K3?
If older, did you change the P30 and P35 front panel pins (to RF board)
to gold?.
If you have a sub receiver, make sure it is enabled and then check FW
revisions, if the AUX DSP board has mismatched FW, you can get ERR DSE.

I've used two KPods connected to the K4 at the same time. The buttons are the
same of course but the knobs can be VFO A and VFOB which is kind of handy at
times.

Yes, I can toggle AGC on and off. No S-meter when on. I have also gone thru
the troubleshooting section of the manual. All is within reasonable parameters.
Q1 & Q2 test good. I have checked the path back to U1 pin 2 on the front panel.
The S on Q1 stays at +1volt no matter if AGC is on or off.
Have you verified K1 MENU item AGC is toggled to ON? AGC ON is required for
the S-meter to function. See last page of K1 manual for quick reference.
FWIW, almost NO Elecraft model designation uses hyphens or dashes. :-)
