Re: [Elecraft] K2 CAT

Hello Jerry, Hello K2 experts! I'm not an expert, but the "Elecraft KIO2 Programmer's Reference" at says at page 5: PC (Power Output Level; GET/SET) Extended SET format: PCnnn; where nnn is 000-150 in

[Elecraft] K2 CAT

Hello K2 experts! I have a question about the CAT support - as implemented in the KPA100. Is there a CAT command to set transmit power? The situation is - the K2 is my main CW machine. It has two killer features: 1) It has true quiet diode-switched QSK. and 2) It fits perfectly

Re: [Elecraft] Lightning concerns: Was: K4 Remote: My QTH vs. a friend's, many miles to the north

As a broadcaster in South Florida with tall towers, 50' masts on mobile units and satellite uplinks, we encountered lightning strikes many times a day during the rainy seasons. Our experience is that all equipment can be damaged by the high voltage and/or current, no matter how much protection you

[Elecraft] de W3TB and my KAT-500 question

I need to send my KAT-500 in for service, and I wrote to Elecraft Support for information. When I disconnected the KAT-500, here is some trouble that came up. And then I reconnected it up and the trouble went away -- apart from what I am getting it serviced for. When disconnected, the K3 itself

Re: [Elecraft] Band-specific low output

A momentary hi SWR can cause a severe fold-back on power out on the K3, which can take several tens of seconds of subsequent transmission to sort out. Changing bands or cycling power can also reset this behavior. I had an intermittent on one of my antennas that would trigger this behavior.

Thank you very much Peter I was not going to reply anymore since I had received the order not to continue with this thread, but your email reflects exactly what I wanted to say in my first email thank you! 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W El dom, 5 may 2024 a las 23:21, Peter Hall () escribió: > Hello

Re: [Elecraft] Lightning concerns: Was: K4 Remote: My QTH vs. a friend's, many miles to the north

Peter, Mike, I think Elecraft does a reasonable job at protecting equipment inputs. For lightning protection, there is much literature on methods and practices. A principle to keep in mind is protect at the “point of entry”, the desk setup, the entry to the house/shack, etc. Another is

Re: [Elecraft] Band-specific low output

Hi Roger, The fact that the low output corrected itself after a band change suggests a relay problem in either the lowpass or bandpass filter sections. Have you tried to run a TX Gain Cal routine lately? If not, that would be a worthwhile first step before opening the case and poking at relays.
