Good Morning fellow Elecrafters, Thanks to the many Elecraft KX3 users' suggestions I now have my KX3 station back up and running with the PX3 AND the KXPA100 Amp. What did I do? I unplugged every cable I had going to the whole system (and actually took the time to make and apply labels on each and every cable) and dressed up all of the cables nicely. Now the rat's nest of cables is all neatly coiled and tied and sufficiently separated from the coaxial antenna cable. The main thing I worked on was to make sure that the RF-45 plug was seated (with a good solid "click" sound into the back of the amp). My thanks especially to my good friend Don Wilhelm, W3FPR, who has helped me throughout my whole Elecraft life. Thank you, Sir!
On a personal note, I had had some chest pains last Sunday while walking our dog Ditzy, and, on Monday, my wife Kay drove me to the hospital ER. I stayed in the hospital all that day, that night, and all through Tuesday. I had lots of blood tests (every 3 hours) and had numerous important tests (such as an Echo Cardiogram, a stress test, and a CAT Scan) throughout the day on Tuesday. I was released after the hospital gurus were 80% sure that I hadn't had a heart attack. On Friday my own personal physician gave me a thorough examination and was able to interpret all of those hospital tests. He sent me home with some new prescriptions and the advice to take it easy and to stay in and near the house for a few days. I was planning on doing a little operating using my great KX3 for some R&R, but had run into the problems I have written about earlier. This morning all is well again with the radio, antenna, and the whole system. Thanks again everybody! 73, Carter Craigie, N3AO Blacksburg, Va ______________________________________________________________ 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]
