Henry I would install the PAIO board that's in the 100w pa kit and use that by setting the right setting in the menu PAIO normal setting under the KPA config item - That should work as intended but with no PA installed and allow your basic tests
The PA jumper is only needed if the 100w pa is not installed and no PAIO board is available as far as I can see. I think you should not have any issue doing that and it would work fine Rgds Simon Simon Lewis GM4PLM/DL4PLM http://www.dl4plm.net -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Samstag, 1.

I thought that with all of us building these over the weekend, there would be someone answering support questions. But, I know they have been busy, and maybe need some time off to deal with other issues. I do have the KPA3 100 watt amp to install. The assembly manual that came with the kit indicates that it is not necessary if you are going to install the KPA3. However, the picture in the manual does show it already installed from Elecraft. The latest assembly manual, from the web site, indicates that you will still need the PA Jumper Block to do some initial testing before installing the KPA3. So, I am trying to get clarification as to whether I really need it. And, if I do, I need to get someone to ship me one. As an aside, it sure would be nice to know what changed from manual revision to revision. That way I could just update the manual that came with the kit originally. In my full-time job, when a procedure is changed, there is always a sheet describing what paragraphs/sentences/pages were changed. That makes it easy to see where the differences exist. 73, Henry - K4TMC K3#98 -----Original Message----- From: Simon Brown (HB9DRV) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat, 1 Dec 2007 3:22 pm Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft K3 Support on the Weekends? You can continue, you will not need it if you have the 100W PA. It should / could be on the mainboard anyway.
