The black box besides the battery holder and connectors has just one resistor. If I remember correctly, you should be able to open the box and check. I had to open mine because of failed solder connection. The wire used for "pig tail" connector is pretty weak, it brakes easily. Check the wire and the battery holder connections.

I was using DXDoubler for SO2R last weekend. CM500 connected to DXDoubler so I needed to use the black bias box. Since I couldn´t record M1-M4 messages in the K3 from the CM500 connected to the DXDoubler, I connected directly CM500 (without black bias box) in the back of the K3 and turn ON bias and record the messages. Then I connected CM500 with bias box on the DXDoubler, but I forgot to turn OFF bias in the K3 menu. And I noticed that it stop working. I tested again the CM500 on the K3 and work properly, so the problem is in the small bias box. No signs of damage, but I cannot open it to see inside. Any idea how to repair it or to buy another one? 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
