[Elecraft] K3 TX Gain troubles on 6m
I have emailed support but was curious if others have seen this issue. I was seeing a few spikes on the KPA500 so I decided to do the TX Calibration. I have all the bands in good order except for 6m where the output will not go above 3.6 watts on the 5W calibration or above 48ish on the 50watt. I am going to try another cable and dummy load just for curiosity. -- Mike W0MU J6M CQ WW DX CW Contest 2011 J6/W0MU November 21 - December 1 2011 W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 TX Gain troubles on 6m
Hi Mike... Just to give you another data point, I have no problems doing the TX Cal on 6 meters. Using about a 6 foot length of RG-213 to an old Heath Cantenna. Works fine at both 5 watts and 50 watts. Good Luck... 73, Ken K3IU On 11/8/2011 12:46 PM, W0MU Mike Fatchett wrote: I have emailed support but was curious if others have seen this issue.

This was measured on the K3 doing the TX gain adjustment. It fails and gives an error message.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 TX Gain troubles on 6m
Can you get it up to 50 watts doing the Tx Gain procedure manually on 6 meters?
