Guys I may need to re-enforce my power lead and connections - but they appear OK.
What I was asking was what does the voltage display indicator show on your K3 - when compared to mine? I have since understood that the voltage drop that I see (at the 3 power settings mentioned) is about normal...... 73 Graham G4FNL -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robin Moseley Sent: 08 March 2015 02:17 To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 voltage indicator Measure the voltage inside the K3, at the powerpole.. you may need thicker DC lead or clean the fuse contacts.

Using a DMM, I can see that my 13.8volt linear PSU seems to drop 0.1volt when going from receive to the 100W TX level - yet the display indicator on the K3 goes from 13.7v (receive) to 13.3v (10W) to 12.9v (100W) Is this typical? 73 Graham G4FNL ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
