My KAT100 was working fine then developed a problem recently. For those wondering what happened to my for sale listing this is why I removed it.
At first the tune sequence would tune at times and other times it would stay at 9.9-1 and the lights would work most of the time. (Using a dummy load as well as an antenna) I checked the solder connections in the KAT100 and retouched a few. I noticed no change in behavior. I put the radio away for a few days and revisited the problem today .... Before doing anything I did a SWR Bridge alignment on the KPA100 just to be sure nothing had changed. I adjusted for 0 voltage using a DMM as instructed in the manual. Currently, the tune sequence gives a 1.0-1 reading on the K2 meter but the scale lights on the KAT100 do not light up while tuning or when keying. The antenna and power lights are working properly. When keying 100 watts into a dummy load the power is reduced by various amounts depending on the band and the K2 shows HI Refl, the same symptoms using an antenna. Using the menu for tuner readings, after hitting tune in the dummy load, I get: L00.4 C0.08 nET2 t 197 E243 Init F1.05 L0-L8 get relay clicks as well as C0-C8 and N1-N2 I am using the The KAT100/KPA100 in their own enclosure. Any help on where I should start from here to solve the problem? Thanks, Damon (Don .. I sent you an email on this when the symptoms first started, maybe it was lost in SPAM) ----- W4HDM-DAMON-K2#473 -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/KAT100-error-tp3696887p3696887.html Sent from the [K2] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
