Re: [Elecraft] MAST HOLE FOAM FILLERS

Kent, Suggest you read and perform the calculations in Calculating the Required Mast Strength section of *ARRL Antenna Book. *You will also want to search NWS.gov web site for Maximum Recorded Wind Gust speed at weather reporting stations nearest you. NORRL Lee On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 5:47 PM

Re: [Elecraft] MAST HOLE FOAM FILLERS

A PVC mast 3' into the ground will easily break off - use 2" galvanized pipe and allow several feet above the grass level. This will allow you to connect the 50' mast to same. Best to make a swivel mount several feet off the grass level to allow for putting it up and down. You must guy this

Re: [Elecraft] No Pwr out 20M

Good afternoon, Jim… Do not be embarrassed. I’m a newly-minted operator and have all kinds of mistakes yet to be made. I can say that I have a lot of experience with computers and cannot tell you how many times the question “is it plugged in?” should have been the first things I checked. I

Re: [Elecraft] KPAK3AUX cable length

Art, The Y-BOX (v2.1 and later) converts any standard (economical) 15-pin M/F DE-15 cable into the equivalent of a KPAK3AUX cable, plus it supports other features not supported by the stock Elecraft cable, such as KPA500 / KPA1500 remote power on/off via a K3 macro (DIGOUT1 to pin 8), and easy

Re: [Elecraft] No Pwr out 20M

We all do it, Jim.  At least I do.  A few years ago I spent hours trying to figure out why my new KX3 was shutting off.  Then elecraft_support suggested  it might be because I had set the timer to turn it off.  Duh!. david, kc1dny On 4/29/2019 1:36 PM, Jim Kennedy wrote: Thanks Grant NQ5T,

Re: [Elecraft] No Pwr out 20M

Not to worry Jim. We have all done it. When I was a novice circa 1969 or 70, I was helping my brother-in-law, WA9ZES trim his freshly made 40 meter dipole. We could not figure out why the SWR never changed. We made it long to begin with, but still expected the SWR to change. After many trips up

Re: [Elecraft] No Pwr out 20M

Thanks Grant NQ5T, when I have finished this post I will proceed to go wipe off the egg on my face. I had gone thru all bands to be sure I had the correct antenna port selected but after Grants post I figured I had better check that again and found it to be incorrect. All is good now. What a

[Elecraft] MAST HOLE FOAM FILLERS

There are a number of polyurethane-type foam post-hole fillers on the market (Sika, Rainbow, Secure Set, Poly-Set, Postloc,etc.).  I would appreciate a brief discussion (10 replies maximum) from knowledgeable construction people as to what might be best for the following application. I'm

[Elecraft] 6m Calibration Fails with FW 5.67

My K3S fails the 6m calibration with FW 5.67.   The FW instructions state that *some* KPA3A may go into oscillation, but then states that all KPA3As should use the ATN6 setting for TXGN HP.  Mine will not complete the 50W calibration with ATN6 activated and after the failure I it will only

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 input too high

Hi Andy I am thinking the reactance the antenna presents to the tuner may have something to do with it. Even though SWR shows about 3.7:1 it may well do with causing the issue. At 3.636 the capacitance is 719 and inductance is 2100. The only band I need a tuner is 80 meters. All other bands are

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 input too high

Was the KPA1500 tested at maximum output power and duty cycle with a loading condition that required drive power to be just below the level that would trip the "input power too high" monitor? Is it possible that certain loading conditions would require a drive power level high enough to
