I blame the squirrel. Howard Kraus, K2UD
-----------------------------------------From: "Dave Cole" To: "elecraft@mailman.qth.net" Cc: Sent: Sunday November 17 2019 6:35:12PM Subject: [Elecraft] Here is an odd one... We had a power failure, and when the power came back on, my K3 did not see, nor key my KPA500... It was working fine just prior to the power fail... We were not home when the power failed... The battery backup came on line and protected the K3 from the odd power spike, which I assume happen when a squirrel acts as a jumper for a 115KV line... But I digress... I returned from shopping, and took a set of readings on my background RFI levels on all bands, wrote them all down, and waited for the power to return... Upon power return, the KPA500 seemed totally disconnected from my K3. No KPA500 on the K3 when it comes on, and no OPERATE message when I switch out of standby... No keying of course either... Some troubleshooting later, I find the data cable plugged into the AUX connector of the K3 has dropped out... Go figure, no one was even home... Last time I fail to screw in the locking pins... -- 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net [1] ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Asst.
