[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Propagation was not good. QSB helped and hindered. Twenty meters had more QSB while forty meters had more noise - thunderstorms and a steady hissing. Digging was rewarded. I gave more than one ESP to S3 signal report. As the sun angle changes forty meters will get longer again. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: W0CZ - Ken - ND K6XK - Roy - IA NS4V - David - NC AB9V - Mike - IN K0DTJ - Brian - CA On 7047.5 kHz at z: WM5F - Dwight - ID K6PJV - Dale - CA K0DTJ - Brian - CA W0CZ - Ken - ND Until next week 73, Kevin.

Re: [Elecraft] Sunday night 80M Elecraft SSB Net
Sorry, left out the frequency: 3775 kHz LSB Quoting Dave New : Here are the check ins for this evening's 80M SSB Net, which meets weekly on Sunday evenings 9pm ET summer/winter (this net does not shift time, since there are other nets before and after us on the same frequency that do not shift) WB9JNZ Eric IL K3 WM6P Steve GA K4 K9TF Jim WI K4 The summer static on 80M can make copy a bit difficult, but signals are typically strong in the evening on 80M. For instance, Eric was peaking at 30 over 9 at my QTH in SE Michigan. Thanks, and see you next week! 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to n8...@arrl.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] Two error messages.
Good Sunday morning all, I have an error on my KPA1500 which occurs when the amplifier is ONLY placed in "OPER". Given on a minimum of 5.8 to 7.0 watts of drive from the K4D, the amplifier faults and displays the following: "LOW GAIN RADIO 1". This occurs on all bands from 160 to 15 meters but not 12 to 6 meters. I suspect that this will mean a trip back to the mothership. On the K4D, the error message is "ER31 - POWER INPUT TOO HIGH". According to the K4D manual, this error code means that it is amplifier induced. I could not find the amplifier error in the KPA-1500 manual. Anyone have any thoughts on this problem? With best regards, Jerry, W1IE . __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

[Elecraft] RFE KPA1500 FAN PROFILE
May I suggest adding a command that allows users to select the more aggressive 6m fan profile on the KPA1500 for HF use? Call it, for example, FP6; to revert back to the normal HF profile, say FPD. These could then be loaded into FP1 and FP2--We could select the best profile for the current op. 6m ops are unaffected. Digital users would find a cooler running amp for RTTY and FT8, for example, as well as slow-speed CW ops and K4 users pushing the fabulous CESSB feature, which does create a hotter running KPA. My experiments show that just running the fans at FAN1 or FAN2 do not create sufficient airflow as the amp heats up. Running at FAN3 keeps things cool, but can create large swings in neatsink temps during rx periods.. It also irritates the XYL, and makes copy more difficult, even with Radiosport, Heil, or Bose QC-35 noise-cancelling heatsets Likewise, experimenting with FAN DWELL did not solve the issue. There is an external solution, FANticipator, but this requires a computer with wifi, and a LAN connection to the KPA1500--more stuff that needs to work and be turned on. FANticipator does very effectively lower PA temps AND fan noise. I think the FP6 command will also help with noise and temps. The advantage of implementing my suggestion is that it does not affect KPA1500 owners who are happy with the current HF fan profile, but can help those of us with low noise tolerance, tinnitus, or who just want a cooler KPA1500, and does it without an external Pc. Finally, it could be a marketing tool, since ICOM appears to be touting the PW2 as a quiet. amp. I would be happy to beta test this, if offered, and come back with some real numbers Thanks for your consideration. 73, Eric WD6DBM  __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
