Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Thanks Kevin! I tried to answer. But the signal was buried pretty deep. I think we are just too close to one another. It also seems like the QRM starts up as soon as the net begins, that didn't help. I like trying to pull you out of the noise with APF on the KX3. Pretty cool

I know this doesn't have the non-gold pin problem but I would remove and replace the KPAIO3A and KPA just to scrub the pins and to make sure everything is seated properly. Wes  N7WS On 2/3/2020 3:34 PM, Carl Yaffey wrote: When I get my K4 (hopefully May . . .), I currently plan to send in my

Carl, Unless you are OK with operating at the 11 watt level and below, I would ask for an RSA and send in the K3S as soon as you get it. Turn around times on repairs are typically 2 to 3 weeks depending on the backlog. The K4 is not likely to ship until late April or early May, and I don't

[Elecraft] KPA3 in K3S mostly not working

2020-02-03 Thread Carl Yaffey
When I get my K4 (hopefully May . . .), I currently plan to send in my K3S for repair. I have already talked with support. The symptoms are: 1) In transmit mode, no power when raising the power above 11 watts. This happens about 90% of the time. So the 100w amp is not totally gone. 2) In receive

We have a KPA500 in our station setup of HU1DL. After some days of operation (and changing of bands, filters, antennas), the T/R pin diodes are blown (D8/ D9). - amplificaton of the RF-input signal works well - receive level/ noise level in standby is normal - receive level/ noise level in

But that would preclude allowing receive on the SubRX while transmitting - in other words SOTR operation. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/3/2020 5:58 AM, Dave B via Elecraft wrote: I'm somewhat surprised Elecraft don't just flip that relay into the "protect" position whenever the radio Transmits. Or at

I'm somewhat surprised Elecraft don't just flip that relay into the "protect" position whenever the radio Transmits. Or at least have a menu option for that relay's behaviour, that defaults to the "Safe" situation (RX made "Safe" during TX.)  But if you really do need to, able to be set so the RX

A possibility is an ionospheric sounder ... In the past there were many hundreds of 'em operated by "everyone". Used to be plagued by one a few miles north of Denver. Another was located behind the NBS in Boulder. Give Google a peek 73 K0PP On Sun, Feb 2, 2020, 15:14 Tox wrote: >

Dany, it looks like the RX-FES (KD9SV) and AS-RXFEP (Array Solution) protection units combined together... isn't it ? :) Are you using it in SO2R or Multi-Multi config? Ref: AS-RXFEP Limiter: https://www.arraysolutions.com/surge-and-rf-protection/as-rxfep RX-FESSS (KD9SV):
