I discovered today that I didn't have my ALC properly setup. I had EXT ALC set to OFF in the K3 and the ALC was at the default setting of 210 in the KPA.
In adjusting the ALC I also discovered that it appears to be a per band setting on the KPA500. I didn't see that mentioned in the KPA500 manual. Also noted was a separate EXT ALC on/off for HF vs 6M in the K3. For the most part I found that setting ALC threshold in the KPA500 at 150 was above the level needed to keep the KPA500 power from being reduced. I also notice that sending my callsign will show a bit more power on the peak reading power meter of the KPA than just driving it with a steady TUNE button of the K3. Perhaps the K3 is sending a bit more then? jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ 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
