I have an older K3 (low-2000 serial number) with the K144XV internal 2-meter transverter and KXV3A module (factory-upgraded in 2014).
In the September VHF contest, the first time I've used that band on that radio, I found that the transmitter is flying. It puts out 2-3 watts when keyed, regardless of mode (CW, SSB), with no keying/modulation. It drives up to a few watts output and sounds okay on-frequency, TX and RX, but is clearly not stable and the bad energy is in-band on 2 meters, and quite nearby. I haven't looked at the output on the spectrum analyzer yet, or taken the radio apart to inspect the transverter; I wanted to ask here for any similar experiences before I tear into it to hopefully save a bit of time. Thanks in advance. --73, Rus, K2UA ______________________________________________________________ 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]
