I was running some stations on 160-meters this morning, and noted that the power output had dropped from the amp.
Further investigation found that the maximum power out from the K3/100 was reduced from ~100W to about 54W, with no error messages displayed on the K3. Advancing the 'PWR' control beyond 54 W made no difference. I stopped operating, and found that the power slowly restored, first to a maximum of 84W, and then back to the normal 100W maximum. I assume that this is an issue with temperature? The ambient temperature was cool (A/C running in shack). I have not noted this problem before. The fan was set to 'Config > KPA3 > PA nor'. recommended setting for hard contest use? 73, Jeff PJ2ND / K8ND ______________________________________________________________ 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]
