It might be safest to consider using a 3dB power attenuator on the input of the DB6NT transverter, then you don't have to worry about over driving it. There are some inexpensive 20 watt 3dB or 6 dB attenuators on eBay from China that would do, or you could use the smaller more expensive types

I have just measured my K144XV power output with an accurate power output meter and find that with the K3 set for 1mW the output is 10.5W. But setting the K3 to 0.1mW (fully counter-clockwise) the output goes down to only about 7W. No matter what I do, I am unable to reduce the power further.

I too am very dissatisfied with my internal transverter and sent it to Elecraft to be fixed. It returned with the comment that it was operating as expected. I recall my range was about 4 watts, roughly 4 to 8 watts. My need was for a max of 2 watts and that isn't going to happen. I can't

[Elecraft] KPA500 does not use EBS, and doesn't have any associated bias noise

2015-01-07 Thread Wayne Burdick
Recently there was speculation about the KPA500 using an Electronic Bias System (EBS), and whether that might be implicated in a noise issue. First, we have never heard any reports of a bias crunch or paper crunch problem with the KPA500. This particular noise is quite distinctive, which

I may be the only Elecraft customer with this problem, monochromacy is extremely rare [poor choice of both Mom and Dad :-)], but other forms of defective color vision are much more common, mainly in males and most hams are male. Consequently I'll reply to Alan on the list so everyone can help

One additional note to Wayne's posting: If an on-air signal sounds bad it is frequently because the user is over-driving the amplifier, using and adjusting the amplifier to Rig ALC incorrectly (we strongly recommend not to use ALC) or possibly has gone inside the amp and manually mis-adjusted
