[Elecraft] K3 Failure

When I powered the K3 up this morning I was greeted with the following behavior: When it powered up, the LCD display was on (yellow) but nothing was displayed No Audio No band data sent to the computer Nothing on the P3. The K3 could not be powered off with its power switch. Since my

[Elecraft] Digipan freezes K3 configuration

If I open Digipan while my K3 is on, and then activate configuration on the K3, the config menu selection and change action freeze. The only thing I need to change is the line out level, but I can't do it while digipan is running. Any hints? Dave, K2YG

Re: [Elecraft] Digipan freezes K3 configuration

Dave, There is nothing in the soundcard connection that should cause DigiPan to cause a problem to the K3 when you attempt to change the Line Out level. That means that you have some other connection between the computer and the K3 that is causing problems. To completely respond to your

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Failure

Hi Gary, If the K3 is turned on when the KAT500 is off, the tuner may pull down (almost ground) control signals in the K3-KPA Cable, specifically AUXBUS. If this happens you will be presented with a totally blank K3 display or hung up K3 and you must turn off the K3's power supply to recover.

[Elecraft] Lost serial communication with K3

A while ago I discovered that I had lost serial communication with my K3. This was followed by other problems, which I am now resolving. However, I know that the serial problem appears to be in the K2, since I cannot communicate with it using the K3 utility. I tried the K3 utility on two

Re: [Elecraft] Lost serial communication with K3

Jan, Contact k3supp...@elecraft.com and they can give you a few checks to make on the RS-232 interface. If it is a hardware problem, an EEINIT will not help. Give them a while to respond, email piles up over the weekend, so they spend much of Monday trying to wade through the backlog. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] Lost serial communication with K3

Jan, There is a possibility that your USB to serial converter is the problem. Try another one if you can borrow it. Those adapters which use the FTDI chip are preferred. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/10/2014 2:16 PM, Jan wrote: A while ago I discovered that I had lost serial communication with my

Hi John, Thanks for posting the audio link. As you said on your blog, it is far more interesting then reading the written text. I think I'll listen to it again. 73, Mike K2MK John Harper AE5X wrote For those who didn't hear it via their local FM station, here is the audio:

[Elecraft] K2 #7261 receive 20m

On 20 meters, I hear a s1 signal at 14.057. (it is not heard on my K3)I have also noticed that if I answer a strong CQ after I stop sending, his signal has dropped 3 or 4 s units. It will build back up after I stop sending. I thought it was QSB, but it seems to happen too much. I checked the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Failure

Thanks Fred and Steve. Removing the KAT from the K3 ACC connection did the trick. There are shack configurations where I have no power available to the KAT500, so looks like I yank the ACC plug every time I need that configuration. Strange design, that. Tnx/73 Gary W2CS On Aug 10, 2014,

Re: [Elecraft] K2 #7261 receive 20m

Hi Don, Does the slow recovery problem occur only on 20 meters, or is it present on every band? Does the problem still exist if you turn the AGC totally off? 73, Mike, K8CN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K2-7261-receive-20m-tp7592031p7592033.html Sent

Mike, Now it seems to be fine. I answered a couple of stations booming in for the WAE on 20 and all is good. Not sure where I had the AGC set, now it is on fast. I still hear a internal signal at 14.057. Maybe that is ok? Don -- View this message in context:

Don, Yes, on the K2, there is an internal weak signal at 14057.4 heard in CW mode. It is 10 to 15 dB above the noise floor and is normally covered by atmospheric noise with an antenna connected. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/10/2014 6:28 PM, Don Baucom wrote: Mike, Now it seems to be fine. I

[Elecraft] KX3 Praises.

I played in a local contest this weekend and am just amazed at how many people spent their entire Ham allowance on watts and had none left for ears. Big gun stations calling CQ and pile ups replying only to call CQ again as no one was heard. KX3 on 5w rocked, but no surprise. -- View this

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Failure

I didn't realize that either, so I should buy Fred's KPA500/KAT500 book. I just made the configuration change in the KAT500 program to always turn it on when 12V is applied. It now comes on when my master power switch turns on the small Astron P/S for accessories and my RS-35M for the K3. I

[Elecraft] [KX3] Need Advice - Xmt Rcv frequencies differ but RIT turned off

While you are studying the manual, pay close attention to the reference frequency calibration. That is what you need to perform. GL, Bruce, N1RX __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:
