I have not yet determined the exact series of events, but something strange happens to both of my K3s. This weekend I have been participating in the Texas QSO Party. As it is both a CW and SSB event and multi-band I am doing jumps from band to band and mode to mode. Many times I get to the destination freq/mode and I have ZERO output power displayed on the K3 power meter and very low output on my station watt meters. It appears to be less than 1 watt.
The fix is quite simple. Put the, then failing, K3 into TUNE position. The power comes up - switch it out of tune - go on my way at the desired power level. This happens when going from SSB to CW, CW to SSB, and Band to Band. After the event I will try to get more info as to what key sequence gets them there, but I would assume I am not alone here as both of my K3s are acting the same. I am running 2.38 / 1.90 firmware. 73, Bruce - N1LN (aka: NC4KW) K3 # 1062 K3 # 1193 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
