Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and KXPA100 - PA Mode Question

Don't power off the KX3 by abruptly killing the power to it -- make sure you power it off cleanly by simultaneously pressing those two buttons on the left before switching off the power supply, otherwise the settings won't get written to NV memory properly. 73, Matt VK2RQ On Sun, Nov 8,

[Elecraft] KX3 and KXPA100 - PA Mode Question

2015-11-08 Thread Dauer, Edward
Coordinating the KX3 with the KXPA100 requires setting PA Mode to ON in the KX3’s configuration menu. I noticed recently that when the system is powered down and later restarted, the PA Mode config had reset itself to OFF. The cabling was not disconnected – the only intervention was shutting

Oops! Quite right. Thank you Dwight! RG-74 is big stuff. RG-174 is the small stuff (like the TMP coaxial cables used in the K3/K3S). As others pointed out RG-174 has only one internal conductor. You need to tie two lengths together for a three-conductor cable, but for a short pigtail such as a

2015-11-08 Thread Bob N3MNT
When you shut down the power supply before turning off the KX3, the supply voltage drops and and the KX3 defaults to low power which means that the PA is turned off. If you shut down the KX3 before shutting off power supply you will not have this problem. -- View this message in context:

I use miniature coax for 2-conductor (center plus shield) audiopatch cables, but you'd never fit four of them into the common plug (for combining two stereo circuits). A better solution would be some of the specialty miniature shielded twisted pair cable that companies like Belden make for

Whoops, meant this to go the reflector (sorry Don!) :) A little bit of progress maybe. I went ahead and rewired the T-UG8 base back to the original schematic to ensure that it was as "stock" as could be. I also noticed that the original crystal element (under the insulating material)
