Re: [Elecraft] KX3 temperature compensation experience

Hi all, Here are some answers to questions that came up after I emailed my initial post: *1. How was transmit inhibited on the KX3?* I set the power output to 0.0W as per the temperature compensation instructions. *2. Was any attenuation used during the procedure?* Yes, a step attenuator set to

Re: [Elecraft] Update: K3 Hard of Hearing

John; It sounds like it is time to call tech support to see if they can help. They are pretty good at figuring out what happened and how to fix it. Trying the second K3 in its place, and it works fine, tells me that you may have an issue in the front end. But they will know better. Good luck

Thanks Carl! I'll take a look at that. BTW: Do you know of anyone who has been able to modify the K3/10 to get a few more watts out of it? Thanks Duane On Tue, Jan 21, 2020, at 10:02 PM, Carl Jón Denbow wrote: > > I’d recommend the QTH.com swap shop. 73 de Carl N8VZ > > Sent from my iPhone

Re: [Elecraft] Update: K3 Hard of Hearing

I guess if the transmit is working fine (into an antenna) it rules out pretty much anything in the common path. Do you have the KXV3 Tvtr and Rx in/out module? If the switching around it is bad you can jumper the BNC connectors. Or try injecting a known level into the Rx in port. If you

Re: [Elecraft] Update: K3 Hard of Hearing

Is the transmit working okay? Don’t recall if you mentioned before. My early K3 suffered 0.1uf capacitor failure causing loss of injection which affected both tx and rx. Another cap failure caused loss of tx only due to shorted switching voltage. Both were on the RefOsc board. Sent from my

Re: [Elecraft] Hard of hearing, almost deaf K3

Do you have another transceiver that could have blown its front end? You did not say that it is band independent, are you sure that you're not listening on the RX antenna jack with no antenna connected? John KK9A John Unger w4au wrote: Tue Jan 21 11:43:09 EST 2020 Previous message:

Good to work you, Paul! Some remote systems accept straight key and faithfully transmit it with "personality" intact; some not. FWIW, I've logged over 1,000 QSOs in the past three weeks as K3Y/2, all on my trusty Junker straight key. Some even understood what I was sending, hahha... 73,

Re: [Elecraft] Hard of hearing, almost deaf K3

John, Have you checked the antenna feedline and connectors. Those can often create a "big attenuator". Try the antenna on another receiver if possible. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/21/2020 11:43 AM, John Unger wrote: A few days ago one of my K3's appeared to have suddenly gone almost deaf. Here are
