After more checking, I suspect the internal 100W amp is the common factor in the poor keying characteristics I'm seeing and hearing about from my rig. I am trying to determine if my power supply is doing it's job.
I'm using a TenTec 963 switching supply rated at 25A continuous. At rest the K3S panel display shows 13.6V, with full power key down it dips to 11.5 or so. This seems like a lot. I'm running the power cable thru a RigRunner Powerpole strip. If I can dig out another power supply from the packed boxes I can wire the K3S directly to the supply. Is 11.5V at key down enough to cause the slow rise time being reported? 73 de Chuck, WS1L -- =================== Chuck Chandler [email protected] =================== ______________________________________________________________ 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]
