That's all well and good, but it doesn't address the problem.

I was wondering if a ballpark figure has been announced for the 100W
amplifier? If so, what is the estimate?

Gene,
You must connect the DMM in series with the power supply. Remove the
positive lead from your power supply and connect the negative lead of
your DMM to the power supply terminal, then connect the positive lead of
your DMM to the + wire going to the KPA100.
The instructions are written fo
That's right Eugene - just as it says in the manual but you have to
disconnect the red wire of the power cable. The current flowing from the +
side of the power supply goes through your DMM (set for a 10A current range)
and on to the KPA100.
If you have connectors attaching the wires to your powe

Hi Don,
If we did decide to use battery-backed up RAM in a product, it would
be shadowed by an EEPROM, and both would be checksummed to ensure fail-
safe operation. That seemed like overkill in 2007 when we were
finalizing the parameter storage implementation for the K3.

Are we going "full circle"? Battery backed RAM was the "thing" when the
IBM PC was announced (way back when), and then as technology progressed,
that changed to EEPROM which did not require voltage to retain the
settings. I hope we are not going back to that voltage dependent
situation for th

Oh, OK, I see where you are coming from.
The final answer would have to come from Elecraft itself, but I'll hazard a
guess that it is probably performance and longevity.
Writing to EEPROM is a relatively slow process and may ( ? ) represent a
performance hit within the K3 architecture, t
Hi all,
Choosing EEPROM for nonvoatile storage was the right choice then and still
is. Please don't even entertain a single thought about going back to a
battery backed up RAM solution (remember PC BIOS settings in "CMOS"?). It
has infinitely more problems than an EEPROM based solution. I really h

Where do you have the Monitor set? When using speakers, I believe the

The K3 (like the K2 and our other rigs) uses EEPROM for nonvolatile
parameter storage. This decision was based on several criteria, and we
believe it was the right choice at the time. It's conceivable that in
a future product we might go with battery-backed-up RAM.

It looks like I will not be able to be NCS for the Sunday Elecraft SSB Net
this week (12/4/11). I don't have any available back-ups at this point, so

A few weeks back there was a thread about ferrite cores. While catching up on
(paper) mail at work this morning, I was flipping through a magazine and came
across an article, "The Small-Signal Frequency Response of Ferrites," that might
be of interest to those who took part in the ferrite thread.
It is only the very faint quantum clicking of PIN diodes... but you
