[Elecraft] Unusual Behavior K3S / KPA500 Drive Power Greater Than 12 watts

2020-03-03 Thread Tony
All: I've noticed an unusual thing happen with my K3S and KPA500 amplifier while in SSB mode. When I increase the K3S drive beyond 12 watts, the KPA500 power drops-off dramatically. This only happens in SSB mode. The KPA500 functions fine with other transceivers as well so the condition

I guess it's been a few weeks, so it's time for a new 'Elecraft K4 / any new news' thread. At least it's predictable. Give or take a few days. ;) 1. It's just a wild hunch (call me crazy), but I think any new news will be posted here on the Elecraft website first:

[Elecraft] Unwanted audio

2020-03-03 Thread Martin
Elecrafters, my K3 shows a strange Problem. On USB it transmits a tone at about 2khz above (respectively on LSB about 2khz below) carrierpoint. This happens even with no mic attached. The level of the tone follows the setting of the 2.4khz level of TXEQ. It also follows Mic Gain level. Anyone

Paul, I do not have any setup information relevant to the gear you are using, but you must obtain 4 bars solid with the 5th bar flashing on the K3 ALC meter. Failure to achieve that will result in no transmit or erratic power from the K3. I have information on my website to aid you in

Hi all Maybe this has been asked already, but... I am trying to configure my K3 so it can do FT8 with JTDX. I know that, in the radio tab of JTDX, some people use K3, some people use none. What is/are the advantages/disavanteges of each ? I have a MicroHam USB2 (no soundcard built-in), but I can

Thanks for the heads up Jim. I have cancelled that idea. I am looking at the FTDX101MP now. It is expensive, but available locally here in VK, and seems to have excellent specs. I did look at the K4 which I think with ATU and our taxes, would be about $8389.84 imported into Australia, and
