Leigh, WA5ZNU: Some guy here. Yes, Lloyd K3ESE and I both experience this problem. Before the 3080 board, mine put out 3.5W-4W on 13.8v. Afterwards, it's down to 2W. It didn't keep me from making a nice 80M contact which I reported here along with the problem.
It's possible I've made a building mistake and the fix will just be clearer instructions for me to follow better. I'm confident that Wayne's fix will help when it comes out, but I suspect I'll be re-winding my LPF again. --------------------------------------- Don't take bets on rewinding those FL1 toroids. That isn't the fix. And it isn't anything you need to do differently in the KXB3080 installation. That's FB too, I'm sure. This is a whole different issue that has to do with normal variation in the gain of the transistors in the transmitter that is simply showing up in more rigs now that it covers a much winder range of frequencies. Sit tight. You'll hear more momentarily... Ron AC7AC _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
