Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement

In particular, since the KX1 doesn't do SSB, seems like you would have much better luck checking into one of the CW nets. See the CW Net announcement elsewhere on this list. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2023-04-09 21:59, kx8xx wrote: reads like me trying to check in with a KX1 would be silly

Re: [Elecraft] Where to put the wattmeter

2023-04-10 Thread Alan Bloom
I changed the Subject line since this is a new topic. If the wattmeter (in this case the P3 sensor) is placed after the tuner then it will read the SWR of the antenna.  To determine the net forward power, just subtract the reflected power from the forward power. To calculate reflected power,

[Elecraft] P3 woes - repaired but now claims my K3s, puts out 873W!

My question would be "where is the sensor for the P3 located in the feed system?"  It should be between the KPA500 output and the KAT500 input.   Therefore, when the KAT500 resolves a match, then the line between the KPA500 output and KAT500 input is nominally 50 ohms. If the sensor is

As a first step for both of you, I would do a TX Gain calibration and see if it fails for the 15 meter band. That may also fix your problem. 73, Mark, WB9CIF -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Saul Broudy via Elecraft Sent: Monday, April 10, 2023

[Elecraft] K3s problem

2023-04-10 Thread Saul Broudy via Elecraft
 My K3s has been working wonderfully since bought new in 2015.  I use it for CW only and run it at 75 - 85 watts.  It has a new problem on 15 meters only.  After a short period of transmission the power will disappear.  Turning the power off and on restores full functions for another

If you mean the original manuals, they're here: https://elecraft.com/pages/kx1-manuals I don't know of any other KX1-specific resources, but someone else might. Also, you may want to get your email setup checked out; your outgoing message consistently had no punctuation or spaces between
