Hello,
Just checking cooling performance my new KPA500.
Running 330W output in RTTY, 50% duty cycle.
SWR is OK: 1 : 1.1 or so.
Ambiant temp = 25C
Fan runs at speed 4, occasionally 5
PA TMP hovers between 65 and 70 C
Is this normal?

Hi Brian,
I've done a couple of KRC2s and from memory it seems like I never notices the
short delay on the LED. It must be pretty short. Also, try holding F1 a couple
of times to see if that make it output the 12v starting on 60M. I think that's
the way mine is working. I'm not at a computer
Brian,
Where are you placing the test probe to detect the voltage, on the screw atop
the terminal or the hole for the wire? I found when testing my KRC2 that the
screws did not connect to the circuit without a wire attached to the terminal.

IMNSHO, get the KPA3 for the K3. Your KAT3, as has already been pointed out,
will handle the KPA3 beautifully. You can still crank the power down to whatever
level you want, so you can still operate the K3/KPA3 at QRP levels. Plus,
everything
will be nicely integrated into one package which, BTW,
Sounds about right to me. It varies a lot with the band in use .. mine
runs hotter on higher frequency bands. I installed (reversible)
modifications in my KPA500 to improve cooling just to keep the fan noise
down.

Help:
Roger,
Your quandary reminds me somewhat the decisions I made in buying my
K3 three years ago. Hopefully I can provide some help.
The K3 is a fantastic radio, thus it has lots of operating features
(which I have to totally explore, yet). Initially there is a bit of
a learning curve to get
I chose the K3/10 and did not add the 100w amp. I had enough
accessories to push the cost near to $3K and needed to keep it from
going higher. The option was to buy the 100w module and install it
later or buy an external 100w amp (the KXPA100 was not available at
that time). I bought an

Your original post said you were working on the KRC2. Your last post stated
you had it configured as the KRC2ACC. The KRC2ACC uses different firmware,

Brian,
Those button functions on the KRC2ACC firmware do different things than
the basic KRC2 firmware.
If you have the KRC2ACC firmware loaded, it will not pass the tests
given in the basic KRC2 manual.
You could download and install the KRC2 firmware for that testing, and
then install the

Hi all,
OK, I have built my KRC2ACC, and it passes all the tests. I have built the
special cable for use with my K3. Now am stumped again, so I am hoping
someone can baby-talk me through this.
I use a Navigator interface for digital modes. That occupies the ACC jack
of the K3. I use a P3

Hi Everyone,

Center frequency: 8215.0 kHz
Mode: CW
Shape Factor: 1.6_*

Brian,
The recommended K3 to KRC2 communication is to use the AUXBUS signalling
for band signalling. The AUXBUS signal is on pin 2 of the K3 ACC
connector with the return path at pin 5 (ground). You can get a Y
connector to bring the ACC signals out to both the Navigator and the
KRC2ACC.
Rich,
I assume this is a 2 band filter board.
Either the KFL1-2 board firmware (U1) is not working, or the 6R/AUX
signal is not getting the the filter board U1 pin 13, or there is a
problem with the relay switching paths.
First check the resistance across each relay coil (pins 1 and 10) of
36 matches
