I really wanted to try and trace out what was going wrong with my KPA3 but I was kinda low for time to put into it and the first thing I was going to need was some ribbon cables made up that would allow me to remote the KPA3 so that I could trace it while its outside the K3... I figured I'd move on and go ahead and send it in once I realized I wasn't going to be able to trace things out that way. Not to mention that I really need to make an RF voltage probe but I usually go and use the spec an at work...
Anyway sometimes a month before it hits the bench is faster than I'd be able to get to it. Esp when I can use it at 10W and get on the air instead! ;) However I do wish I could keep it and try to fix it for that month while I waited rather than it just sitting on a shelf. ~Brett (N7MG) On Thu, 2010-07-01 at 21:16 -0400, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > The biggest ramp up for working on a K3 is getting to the point where > you can read its schematic with understanding.
