Had a nice QSO with Dwayne, KE5EFY this AM and got quite a bit of my new P3 set up. It appears to me that everything is working as it should, I got S-units to appear on the ordinate [they mean more to me than dBm on HF], got a few Fn switches set, and he walked me through the PEAK/NOT PEAK toggle.
When I started building, I installed the KXV3 first, and had the K3 back on the air before I started the P3. In the P3 stuff, there was an "IF Gain Mod," change one resistor on the K3 RF board. I had already re-installed the countable infinity of chassis screws into the K3, and screwing around with an SMD the size of a grain of pepper didn't really "light my fire," so I put it aside. Now, with everything working just fine, I'm wondering what that mod really does? Do I need it? Incidentally, while installing the KXV3, I needed to cut jumpers W1 and W2. This is easier said than done. They are right up against a board that I wasn't told to remove. I did finally get them cut with the very end of a small pair of scissors. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ 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
