I signed for UPS delivery at 1830 this evening. I built it over the next 3.5 hours, including two unrelated interruptions from XYL N5BW. All parts were on hand plus a couple of extra washers and screws. My only issue was that the input RF connection to the amplifier brick was not completely seated. The symptom was that the KPA power meter did not respond at all, bypass or engaged. My K3 driver obviously had a load issue. I pulled the rear panel and reseated it, then it worked as advertised.
I worked everything I could hear on 20M CW late this evening at 500 watts with ease. Elecraft, you folks continue to implement impeccable mechanical and electrical design skills. Thank you once again for another fantastic product. I was recently talking about my Elecraft experiences with a fellow broadcast radio engineer and referred to you folks as the "Nautel of Amateur Radio" 73 de na6m ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
