Whenever I see something suspicious on my spectrum analyzer or receiver, my first step is to make sure the preamp is turned OFF and/or put in some additional attenuation. 160 meter signals and BCB are often very strong (too strong). Putting in 10 db of attenuation should cause much more than

Hi Gary, The K3 computes forward and reflected power from samples taken in the SWR bridge circuit. A Tif X Gain calibration could fail because the forward power reading is incorrect due to a failure in that portion of the SWR bridge circuit. Do you have the KAT3 ATU in your K3? If so, be sure

Clarifying a typo, "antenna tuners" like the KAT500 are networks that transform the impedance presented by the transmission line to 50 ohms, allowing the output stage to provide power to the line. This has NO effect on loss in the line, which is determined solely by the match between the

During operation with a home-brew mag-loop antenna, my K3 (#1222) dropped power to just under 50W (by the display).  There had been an occasional arc in the external loop tuner, so I'm assuming that was the cause of the K3 failure.  Subsequently, running the 50W TX Gain Calibration, some bands

Hi George. Thanks for the reply. It’s not in diversity receive because I do get different frequencies on VFO A and VFO B. Turning VFO A tunes the main RX as expected but turning the VFO B knob does nothing. The VFO B knob itself does work because it correctly changes things in the config menu.

 The KPA500 at the station only matches the transmitter to the transmission line and likewise for the receiver.   It does not change the match between the antenna and transmission line, thus the SWR and related loss from SWR remains. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 12/4/2023 8:07 AM,
