Hi Geoff
I should have said that it is a K3 I have.
Is it possible to change the cut-in point of the KPA100 ?? Mine seems fixed
at 13 watts.
The problem is (ref page 39 - Using Transverters) is that you cannot set XVn
PWR to more than 12 watts. Thus you cannot get the clean signal from the
I don't have a K2, but I have carried my FT-817 plus a small 35w amp

also carry a laptop with Lithium battery (no problems).
Several years ago I carried a pelican case with home-made radio
equipment and the only thing I was
I learned CW in a high school night class with one of those

I like the keyer in the K3. Long ago, my straight key was all I had. For
a while I used a bug, but keeping it adjusted was a nuisance. As soon
as Heath came out with their keyer, I built one and loved it. My own
experience is that it becomes very hard to copy fast CW if the sender is

I'd like some confirmation of this. I can see in the KPA500 manual (rev A,

Hi, Roger.
What's in a name? Herein lies some of the confusion. On the K3, the 100W amp
is the KPA3, not KPA100 (K2 amp). As to your problem, would it not be more
efficient to use the low level output available from the KXV3(a) to drive
your transverter? This would eliminate the waste of all

Hi All.
I am using a K3 with internal 144 transverter module.
On 2m I use a sequencer for TX/RX as I use a PA and a LNA at the masthead.
The rig TX is triggered by the sequencer by using the PTT In line.
The sequencer ensures the rig is switched after the LNA. The sequencer is

Different solution ! You could use TX DLY. This delays the RF out from the

TX-DLY is an option I suppose but that means the sequencer will not be

The sequencer has to switch the LNA first then switches the PA and K3 over

Thanks Bruce.
The sequencer is an SSB DCW2004 B. It does not seem to have a state-change

and then delay outputs to sequence the devices.
So I am note sure that would work..

You would add your own output that would stay low until the sequencer out
