[Elecraft] K3 Mode

I was playing with HRD this afternoon and when swapping bands I ended up on 14 Mc in LSB mode.. I've been trying to get it on USB again but I'm missing something I guess (and didn't even have a beer this afternoon.) Where can set the proper mode again? 73's, Evert PA2KW

Problem solved. I think the LSB mode is somewhere disabled for 14 Mc. By toggling the mode (up) I didn't get the USB Mode. (For some unknown reason I'm always toggling up until I get what I want). By toggling down I did get back the USB mode. Wheird 73's, Evert PA2KW

Evert, You inadvertently switched to USB. The way to do it by intent is to hold ALT (yes, the MODE down button (you must have tapped for longer than a tap). Only one of the sidebands is shown for any one band - same way for CW and DATA modes - if you want to change to the opposite sideband,

Ron, It certainly seems that way to me - those are Normally Open contacts and the relay coil is activated by 12T which is only active during transmit. Disconnect everything from the Ant jack (J1) and measure the resistance between the center conductor of J1 to ground - it should be fairly high

Interesting comments. I was just wondering one thing, do you really haul around 16 6v batteries in the back of your pickup? I calculate that is almost a 1000 pounds of extra weight. Do you use a inverter then to get 120ac for your trailer or what? regards, Jerry -n6jp-

We have 440 AH of 6V golf cart batteries in our RV. Don't know what they weigh ... don't care. (:-) Pretty normal for a solar powered RV. We have no other power source. They power the K3, lights, vent fans, furnace blower, etc. and deliver 120 VAC @ 1500 W via a Trace inverter if needed.
