Don, as described that was NOT the opposite sideband. On the video the stronger signal was at 14091.883 kHz on the dial. That is the frequency of the mark tone; the space tone would have been at 14091.713 kHz. The pitch in use was 915 Hz mark, so the suppressed carrier frequency would be

At more than $6000 per unit (in 2006 dollars), I'm not sure 600 people would pony up the cash. I saw the both KPA800 and KPA1500 at Dayton and that's the closest I've come to actually drooling over a piece of amateur gear. The KPA1500 TXed 1800 watts into a dummy load for the entire hamfest.

Is there an asterisk on the display of the KPA500? If there is, it thinks it is in TX mode even if the rig is not in transmit. I had that problem and it was a poorly soldered resistor on the front panel board, but a shorted TX line (RCA cable) would do the same thing. Elecraft replaced the board.

After doing some more testing in last weekends RTTY contest, it appears that I made an erroneous statement as to what I was hearing and where. What I found is that as I tune down in frequency and find a signal that will decode, if I then tune down another 170 Hz I'll hear the inverted signal.
