model of it.

Dave, You were just above the noise level and a guy on 3778 was splattering all

Oh, well.

[Elecraft] KPA1500 with a Yaesu FTdx101D

[Carl Yaffey]

I’m trying to get the KPA1500 utility to work with my Windows 10 PC and my 
Yaesu FTdx101D.
I have downloaded the FTDI driver, run setup, and received a message saying the 
driver is on my PC.
But when I run the utility it only sees COM3 and COM4, ports provided by a 
Yaesu driver for WSJT-X and fldigi.
Obviously it cannot connect to these ports. I expected to see a port from the 
FTDI driver install. 
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Elecraft] "On second thought, I'll take the stairs."

[Carl Yaffey]

My two cents: FT8 is a bit more than using a computer to make contacts. Believe 
it or not, there is skill involved. Just try working a DX station when a load 
of others are trying. Can you say “pile up”? It ain’t simple.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 hum - problem solved

It turned out to be using the 4-position Alpha-Delta coax switch. No problem 
until I connect both the vertical and the dipole to it.

[Elecraft] KPA1500 hum - problem solved

No hum using a dummy load.
No hum using a dipole.
Hum only with my all band vertical.
Thanks for the suggestions.

[Elecraft] Hum on KPA1500

[Carl Yaffey]

I have developed a loud hum with the KPA1500 on 17m and 15m. A slight hum on 
20m. All other bands, no hum.
It’s power dependent. Loud at full power, hum reduces as power is lowered. Not 
too bad at 500w.
Suggestions?
73.

Carl, K8NU.

[Elecraft] KPA3 in K3S mostly not working

[Carl Yaffey]

When I get my K4 (hopefully May . . .), I currently plan to send in my K3S for 
repair. I have already talked with support.
The symptoms are:
1) In transmit mode, no power when raising the power above 11 watts. This 
happens about 90% of the time. So the 100w amp is not totally gone.
2) In receive mode, sound drops considerably when raising the power above 11 
watts. This is, of course, coincident with the 100w amp failing.
I haven’t found anything that causes the amp to come and go. Seems random. In 
can be OK while sending and the suddenly fail.
Also, the transmit calibration fails.

Anyone have this problem? Is there a “fix” without sending in the rig?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - WSJT-X help

[Carl Yaffey]

I have had this happen intermittently when using the KPA1500 with my K3S. I’m 
pretty sure it’s an RF feedback issue with the PC + WSJT-X. Never happens when 
NOT on FT8.

Rick, Thanks for this. Some people seem to think FT8 is a low power mode. It’s

Re: [Elecraft] K3 FT8 Problem VP6D

I worked them. Like you, I heard many “hounds” and no VP6 for quite a while. 
Then suddenly, there they were, responding. I think it’s propagation. Keep 
calling.

[Elecraft] Working KH1

[Carl Yaffey]

I thought I’d never work Baker Island since I couldn’t hear them on any band. 
Suddenly there they were on 14023. Very weak.
Thanks to my good ol’ KS3, I could engage APF and hear them OK. Here’s how it 
went:
ME: K8NU
KH1: K8?
ME: K8NU
KH1: K8?
ME: K8NU K8NU
KH1: WAIT WAIT WAIT K8?
ME: K8NU K8NU
KH1: K8NU 599
ME: 73.

What an operator! He made everyone wait until he could copy me. Amazing.

The junk changes while transmitting (FT8). Pretty sure it’s RF.

[Elecraft] power varying - KPA1500

[Carl Yaffey]

When running the KPA1500 at full power, sometimes the power will fluctuate. 
EXAMPLE: I was checking in to the Elecraft SSB net a little while ago. While 
transmitting, the power dropped to around 400W. This has happened on 20M CW as 
well. I wonder if the K3S output is dropping. (??). 
If I run at 500W or so, no problem.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Faulting on high SWR on power rise

[Carl Yaffey]

I mentioned a spurious signal. I tested this by using a different rig. No 
problem with it. Sent the K3S for repair.

Another possibility: There is a spurious signal on a widely different 
frequency. I experienced this.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 Shipping Status

[Carl Yaffey]

Sorry, my mistake. The email I received stating 5 - 7 days was for a cable I 
ordered. I ordered my amp on the first day possible in August - as did so many 
others. So, it’s going take a while. :(

[Elecraft] KPA problem on 6M

[Carl Yaffey]

Jack, I finally have some good data on my problem whereby I can’t get full 
output from the KPA500 on 6M.
As you might remember, as I raise the drive and get beyond about 200 watts out, 
I get  a HI SWR fault.
I’m sure now that it’s a K3S problem. Someone on the Elecraft list suggested 
that the K3S might be generating a spurious frequency that would confuse the 
KPA. To test this, I brought over an ICOM IC-706MKIIG and hooked it to the KPA. 
No problem at all getting full power out!
Additionally, the KAT500 tunes the beam to 1:1 with the ICOM driving the KPA.
With the K3S connected, the KAT500 tunes to about 1:8:1. 
The KAT500 should not operate any differently with different driving rigs.
I’ve tried different jumpers between the K3S and the KPA with no difference.

Re: [Elecraft] Strange KPA500 problem on 6M

[Carl Yaffey]

Wow. That was a great job of problem solving. In my case, I get the KPA fault 
with just 8 watts of drive from the K3S. So I doubt that’s my issue.

[Elecraft] Strange KPA500 problem on 6M

[Carl Yaffey]

Bottom line: I can’t get more than 200 watts out of my new KPA500 on 6M. It 
faults (HI SWR FAULT) when I try to increase the drive in order to get more 
output.
But I get full power on 6 with a dummy load.

Bad antenna? Don’t think so. Here’s my setup:
3 element M2 6M beam fed with high cost, low loss coax. Very low SWR and works 
great until I try to get more than 200 watts out of the amp.
I also have an R8 vertical and an HF dipole, both of which tune up on 6 with my 
new KAT500.
When running the amp at 200 watts, the swr indicator shows low swr with the 
KAT500 and any of the 3 antennas. As soon as I increase the drive with any of 
the 3 antennas, I get the fault.
When running the amp without the KAT and the beam hooked directly in, same 
fault when increasing drive.

The beam looks good in an MFJ antenna analyzer as does the R8.

So, I think the amp must be extremely sensitive to anything other than a pure 
1:1 load as provided by the dummy load.
Your thoughts?
Carl, K8NU

[Elecraft] One problem solved. A new one appears.

[Carl Yaffey]

I recently posted:

> KAT500 utility: can’t connect (KAT500 not responding)
> 
> KPA500 utility: connects at 38400 no problem but no info shows in the operate 
> tab. firmware N/A. I try to load firmware and it fails. I tried to force a 
> load (per the manual) with no luck.

I solved this by plugging in the cables one at a time. All utilities working 
fine now.

New problem:

On 6 meters, with the input power to the KPA500 around 7 watts, I get 200 watts 
out. But as I increase the input power, the SWR increases and a “hi swr” fault 
occurs. This happens with 3 different antennas: a 3 el beam, an R8 vertical, 
and a dipole. All are tuned to low swr via my KAT500.
I have tried connected the beam directly to the KPA with the same result. 
This only happens on 6 meters. It used to work fine when I had a K3. I now have 
a K3S. Is there some setting in either the K3S or the KPA that I should change?

[Elecraft] KAT500 and KPA500 utility program ptoblems

[Carl Yaffey]

My current setup is K3S, P3, KPA500, KAT500
I recently replaced my K3 with the K3S. I was able to run all the utilities 
with no problem when I had the K3. 
Now, the K3S and P3 utilities are fine. But not so withe the KAT and KPA ones.
Both take several minutes to come up and run.

KAT500 utility: can’t connect (KAT500 not responding)

KPA500 utility: connects at 38400 no problem but no info shows in the operate 
tab. firmware N/A. I try to load firmware and it fails. I tried to force a load 
(per the manual) with no luck.

More info:
The K3 is set to USB.
The computer is an Apple mac mini with the latest OS.
I’ve refreshed the ports before trying to connect.
I’ve tried rebooting, unplugging  and replugging the USB cables.
I’ve checked all the cable connections.

Note that all units are operating OK except:
On 6 meters, the KPA faults when trying to run more than 200 watts. 
It used to work fine when I had a K3 driving it.

Any suggestions?
TNX and 73,

[Elecraft] KX1 for sale

[Carl Yaffey]

I really thought all items from K8IDN’s estate had been sold. But we found a 
KX1.

It’s in a Pelican case (model 1200) with the plug-in paddle, an external 
paddle, ear buds, internal battery, a speaker, and an external battery. It 
covers 40, 30, and 20 meters and has the internal ATU. New price for all but 
the external paddle, battery and speaker would be around $630. I’m asking $500.
