I had the same issue with my kx3. Investigation revealed that their was a dry joint between the power socket and the PCB. Soldered it properly, not had the problem since

Most notable if you remove the internal batteries and try and operate from a supply only. It seems it is the socket itself that is duff. Yes using the Elecraft power leads not something homebrewed. I am thinking it might be worth removing the socket, fitting a couple of power poles on a pig tail, and a grommet where the original socket was. Anyone else done anything similar? A second wash with iso propyl alcohol and the KX3 I thought wind blown sand had killed (#1082) seems fine now... there was a lot of dirt/dust that had not previously been removed. 72 Dom M1KTA ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 11:35:39 -0500 From: John Bohnovic <[email protected]> To: Klaus Koppendorfer <[email protected]> Cc: Elecraft Reflector <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] CW QRQ and SPLIT Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Do you need the RIT mode when the other station is zero beat with your signal?

The frequency must be shifted from RX to TX, and with QRQ in effect it is not possible to shift that fast. A K3 with 'chirp' on the ham bands would not be a nice thing to hear. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > >> On 2/15/2014 2:33 PM, Jorge Diez - CX6VM wrote: >> I saw in the manual of K3 that CW QRQ is "temporarily turned OFF" with >> SPLIT. >> >> Will be in the future any way to use it in SPLIT mode or is impossible? > > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft You must be a subscriber to post.
