Tom, The ERR TXG message is important - you need to re-run the Transmit Gain Calibration. It is easy if you use K3 Utility to do the calibration, but you can do it manually through the menu too - just switch through all bands and calibrate on each one.
That may solve your other power problems. If not, an email to [email protected] is in order. 73, Don W3FPR Tom (HB9DOD) wrote: > Hi guys, > > > This weekend as we started Helvetia Contest my friends K3 #293 had a strange > problem.. > > Worked so far with all firmware. > > Draws a little over 3 Amps with 12w Output at full output FM on any band. > During "Tune" is seems to tune with 5 watts which i have in my Config > > During "SEND" when i go from Low Power to High power above the 12 Watts.. > Current increases to 8 Amps but no output more then about 12 Watts > > > IN SSB ALC Meter gives the right ALC but no output is shown > > Monitor is OK as i hear myself > > As i do an ATU tune the upper display usually reads swr but now only gives 2 > dashes -- > ATU is working , relays are clicking and no fault is given by the firmware. > > Sometimes it give an error ERR TXG > > > > Receive is OK > > Is has all options built in and the latest modifications done... > > KRX KAT 100W DVR > > What could be wrong here?? > All input is welcome... > > > > > 73 de Tom > HB9DOD > KL5X > K3 #29 > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 8.5.287 / Virus Database: 270.12.4/2082 - Release Date: 04/27/09 > 06:19:00 > > ______________________________________________________________ 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
