I'm a new ham... I just purchased new KPA500 and KAT500 to use with my new K3S/100... following the wiring diagram of the KAT500 manual, page 5, figure 1, I also attached two E850463 cables (ordered from Elecraft), but when I try to transmit into a 1500w dummy load, by following KPA500 manual page 16, I do not get any KPA500 bar graph lights to illuminate as I turn up the K3S power dial from 1 - 30 watts (page 16, step 2), so as a newbie, I cannot figure out what it is I am doing wrong.
I rechecked all the wiring, and I do get automatic band switching between the K3S and the KA500, but I cannot figure out how I should "apply a few watts of RF drive" while in "operate mode" to get the kPA500 bar graph to start lighting. I am pressing the "operate/standby" switch and the KPA500 is switching between the two. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I imagine whatever I am overlooking is probably obvious to many... Thank you. 73, Mark Mark Wheeler WU6R ______________________________________________________________ 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]
