Re: [Elecraft] K4 Final Retail Pricing

[Eric Swartz]

Minor correction to my posting:
" We worked hard to keep costs under control and the final price
adjustments reasonable with a retail increase of just $100 for the K4/10
and **K4** versus their prior max deposits, and an increase of $300 for the
K4D.

[Elecraft] K3 RX dead 80/20 meters

[Jim Kennedy]

Hello all, I need some help ! My K3 s/n 3378 has gone deaf on 80 and 20 meters, 
all other bands are good. It does not have a second receiver installed. I have 
confirmed the receive signal on the other bands is good with my HP 8640B signal 
generator. I can get a signal thru it on 80/20 meters but it takes a ton of RF 
from the signal generator. The attenuator is not on nor the preamp. The 
internal antenna tuner works as expected. I have normal power out on all bands 
including 80/20 meters measured with a Bird 43 and Bird dummy load. Any help 
would be much appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 / WM1 Reporting Conflict

[John Oppenheimer]

Hi Jim,

Both the KX2 and W1 need to be calibrated to a standard. The W1 manual
4.5V is a rough calibration. As I remember, KX2's are calibrated at the
factory at some (I've forgotten) power level. Both the KX2 and W1 are
somewhat non linear.

For my shack, I've decided that a DL1, along with an accurate 10M Ohm
Fluke DVM is the standard. No adjustment required and is as accurate as
the 1% load resistors, DL1 diode drop voltage, and DVM accuracy.

[Elecraft] KX2 / WM1 Reporting Conflict

[James Bennett via Elecraft]

Wondering if anyone can help on this - I’ve got a KX2 and W1 Power Meter. The 
power out on the KX2 does not match what the W1 is reporting. I have the W1 
connected to my MacBook Pro displaying the serial data being sent to it.

I just verified that the W1 voltage at the TP1 connector is exactly 4.5 volts, 
per the manual. I ran the KX2 Manual Transmit Gain Calibration. The KX2 is 
showing exactly 6.0 watts into a dummy load, going through the W1. The serial 
data reported by the W1 is 7.20 watts, consistently. Also, the KX2 firmware is 
the most recent.

So, who is wrong - KX2 or W1? And what can I do to resolve it?

Tnx, Jim / W6JHB
