[Elecraft] PX3 Questions

2014-09-27 Thread John Lally
I just received the PX3 kit.  It was rather straight forward to assemble and
to set up.  I am learning how to operate the PX3.  I have two questions.

 

1. Configuring the power switch,  page 22.  Pins 2  3:  The PX3
turns on automatically when power is applied and may be turned off and off
using the PWR switch as long as power is applied.  I find that the PX3 does
not automatically turn on when power is applied. I need to manually turn on
the PX3 by pressing the PWR switch after power is supplied.  Does anyone
have a solution to this problem?

 

2. PX3 Utility.  The capture screen function does not work.  When I
press the capture image button in the utility program, the PX3 freezes and
the KX3A100 turns off.  I have remove power from the PX3 and I have to reset
the PA Mode in the KX3 menu back to on.  Does anyone have any thoughts on
this issue?

 

Thank you.

[Elecraft] KX3-2M Scanning

2014-08-08 Thread John Lally
I have a question about scanning and the KX3-2M.  I installed the KX3-2M and
it is working fine.  I am trying to use the scanning function and I am
having problems.  The KX3 scans.  When there is a transmission on one of the
2M band channels in my KX3,  the receiver stops momentarily and then starts
scanning again.  I do not hear any audio when the KX3 stops on the active
channel.  

 

Is there any way to have the KX3 stop on the active 2M frequency,  output
the audio, and resume scanning when the signal drops? 

 

Thanks,

 

John

[Elecraft] Operating from a Hotel

2012-09-13 Thread John Lally
Horrid electrical noise in hotels because of air conditioners.  I stayed in
a hotel in Redmond, WA.  I tried using my KS3 with a 28' wire extending out
from the window and a 16' counterpoise which was inside the hotel room.  I
was not able to receive anything on any band.  All I heard was massive
electrical noise at above S 20-40.  I believe that this electrical noise was
generated by variable speed motors in the air conditioning units.  Has
anyone experienced this?  Any suggestions or solutions?

 

Thanks,
