Michael, I also see the exact same symptoms you describe below. This is after implementing Wayne's procedures 'to the letter.' Firmware V2.38, K3 S/N 775.
73, Kam N3KS Thanks for the detailed information. However, this is not my problem. The most severe problem I have is: a) the output power spikes and overshoots in CW or SSB or FM as you adjust the power control, so it is not advisable to use a sensitive, i.e solid state power amplifier with the K3. Especially not one needing less than 50W of drive. It needs a fast responding meter to see it. A work around is to set the power without the amplifier in circuit, speak or key to let the spike happen, then switch on the PA and not adjust power or mode afterwards. Does this not happen to anyone else? A lesser problem is: b) that the power output is unstable once set in SSB mode, showing variations of around 50-100% in the peak output depending on the power output setting. This is when set up as described. It is only really visible with a peak reading power meter. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
