(I am waiting for the spare part) But I could already try the PA without this plug, and it works, but there must be some problem with oscillation I think. It is only in SSB mode, not when I tune or send CW. In low power mode all is ok, when I turn power over 11 Watt, the PA draws more than 18A when I whistle. The modulation reports I get describe it as missing high frequencies. When I observe the amperemeter needle, it looks very nervous, sometimes I have seen and heard it "vibrate". Sometimes I have had a normal behaviour though, with 80W on my calibrated LP100 Wattmeter and a good signal report. But this was only a very short time. Most of the time I get this peaks of output up to 150 W on the LP100 peak meter. I have now put the PA in the EC2 with the KAT100. For allignment and testing I have had it mounted besides the K2 and connected it directly. 73! de Werner OE9FWV -- Love is staying awake all night with a sick child - or a very healthy adult. - David Frost, broadcaster PGP-Key: <http://www.qsl.net/oe9fwv/furlan.asc> Fone +43 5522 75013 Fax +43 820 555 85 2621 Mobile +43 664 6340014 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
