[Elecraft] k3 main rcvr issue

2013-10-05 Thread Jim Mornar
Hello, I just completed assembly of my K3/100 with subrx and 2.8khz, 400hz and 250hz filters in each rcvr. Very impressive rig. On the main rcvr, while tuning across the 40m band, I get a dead spot about every 5khz, thats about 1/2 khz wide. I would say any signals are attenuated at least 20

Jim, Did you do the calibrations? Particularly the Synthesizer and Reference Oscillator? If not, try those first, and if you have already done that, try doing it again. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/5/2013 1:15 PM, Jim Mornar wrote: Hello, I just completed assembly of my K3/100 with subrx and

I'm looking for troubleshooting ideas. My K3-10 suddenly died while in use. Here's what happened: I was listening and transmitting on 15 meters. Heard a station in Kansas 5-9 calling into the California QSO Party. I couldn't reach him despite a strong signal from him. SWR 1.1:0 outputting

Belay my last. K3 resurrected itself after about an hour. Is this a thermal shutoff issue? What might be the underlying cause? Lew Lew Phelps N6LEW Pasadena, CA DM04wd Elecraft K3-10 Yaesu FT-7800 l...@n6lew.us www.ntlew.us On Oct 5, 2013, at 1:16 PM, Lewis Phelps l...@n6lew.us wrote:

Scotty, The most common cause for that behavior is a problem with T1 - leads not adequately stripped and tinned, leads not in the correct holes, the toroid wound in the wrong direction (it must be *exactly* like the figure in the manual), inadequate soldering. One other (but less common)

Hi Guys, When operating SSB, about a month ago my Foot switch cable to the K3 PTT IN on the rear panel quit working. I tried a second foot switch that I know is good, and that one won't key the K3 in SSB mode either. I'm wondering if the K3 has an internal Menu setting that deactivates

Dick, Eliminate the foot switches from suspicion with a simple test that you can do with your DMM. Set the DMM to ohms and check the resistance between the tip and shell of the RCA plug. When you depress the foot switch, the resistance should be quite close to zero. Yes, it is not
