Subject: FS: Elecraft PR6 Preamp
For those of you picking up legacy K3 rigs recently, you might want
to consider this option. The PR6 was designed to help boost 10M and
6M signals as an add-on unit which plugs into the RX IN/OUT
connections on the back of the K3 with supplied BNC connectors.
There is a power connection and a control so that you can turn on the
PR6 by simply pressing the RX ANT button on the front of the K3. Here is a
link to the user's manual:

_B.pdf
$60 or best offer, postpaid to lower 48.
Please contact me off list at listed email.

I see that Elecraft is just starting to ship K4s.? I am wondering when
the manual will be available for download?? It would be nice start
reading about the MANY functions of this radio prior to actually
receiving it.
Thanks

I just ordered the nifty little W1 Wattmeter. I see that it can supply serial
data to an external program, and that there is a free download of a Visual
Basic program on the Elecraft web site. I use a Mac and a Raspberry Pi and do
not have VB on either, nor do I want to. I?m fairly proficient in several other
programming languages and am thinking that I might ?roll my own?, starting on
the Mac.
I know that this is a stretch, but has anyone done this? I know - hahahaha? OK,
how about anyone out there who has read serial data (coming over USB with the
Elecraft Serial->USB cable? Any pointers or links to documentation on how to do
that?

Hi, Andre -
I wonder if it's a problem with blown D16 and D17 in the KPA100.
If you follow this forum on-line at nabble.com, you can do a search for
"D16" and
see many postings on the topic.
Good luck.

Andre,
Do you have any power control? To check set the power to about 50 watts
and do a TUNE. Measure the actual power output with an in-line
wattmeter and a 50 ohm dummy load.
If it still goes to 160 watts, you do not have any power control. The
usual reason is the diodes D16 and D17 (1N5711 type) have been damaged
by static coming in on the feedline. Replace those diodes and re-check.
If that does not fix it, I can help with additional troubleshooting.
73,
Don W3FPR

Dear All,
I gave a new home to a? K2 + (KPA100+KAT100 in EC 2), ser#>5000. The K2
on its own is runnung fine.
When I connect to the KPA+KAT I get HiCur warning (on initiating TX) on
all bands with POW>10W. This also happens when I transmit into a dummy
load. I measured the output from the dummyload with a DMM. There are
only two values (depending on the dialled in watts):
Below 10W = 38 VDC (= 14W)
Above (I checked 20, 50, 80, 100W) = 129 VDC (= 160W!!)
In other words, as soon as the KPA is activated, the output is 160W
(according to my formula for converting VDC in W). The meter on the
power supply (good for 25A) confirms that I draw about 20A above 10W in,
apparently only limited by the slow 20A fuse in the line.
