[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,    It cooled off and got wet the last few days.  Fire danger dropped considerably.  Too bad the rain can't move south a few hundred miles.  There are no sunspots today, but in a day or two a group will pass over the limb.  Autumn is starting a little early.  It is going to be a

It doesn't work. I don't know why. It has all components installed. It was years ago and I was in KH6 for work. It was faster for me to build another KSB2 (they were a lot cheaper then!) so I could get on the air quickly. Old style crystals. Firmware 1.04. D1 and D2 have one lead lifted

Not that I care, but I never figured out how one played the game.  Part of the abysmal navigation I suppose.  With on exception, that I "walked out of", the presentations that I viewed were very good to excellent.  I watched many of them after-the-fact. Two of the presenters are personal

I agree and there was apparently some cheating involved too, requiring a resolution after the fact. If prizes are offered, just make it "They showed up here (each vendor), so they're entered into a random drawing", just like any other hamfest.  Appearance equates to one (only) 'ticket'. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

Problem solved (so far)!  I removed all cables from the K3, opened the top and re-seated all the TMP connectors. When removing the cables I noticed the screws holding the RS232 connector were  loose and the connector was very slightly unseated on the left side.  After putting everything back

I think that competitive prize part could just be dropped. If the system wasn't successfully gamed this time, it will be next time. There are plenty of folks around the world with time on their hands to create bots to do just about anything. It just begs for someone to do it and now they will have

According to a post by the organizers, there was even some cheating done to rack up scores to win a prize. And those results had to be ferreted out and removed from the picture. Sadly not surprising … Grant NQ5T > On Aug 22, 2020, at 5:53 PM, Gary Peterson wrote: > > Agreed. Much better

I had to do 2 presentations. The Q and A was really good I thought and well managed when you consider over 26,000 people registered and about 1/2 of those showed up on Saturday, just like a normal Hamfest. But, yes, I have a list of things I would like to see changed for the one in March. 73,

I thought an overall problem was you couldn't enter a presentation until the exact time it started. I think they should have a "buffer" time, say 5 minutes, where you can enter and wait for the presentation to begin. Second, I didn't care for how the questions were presented. At all of the

Martin, thanks for the suggestion.  It sounds like a likely source.  It was also suggested to be a bad transistor in the LPA.  His was from experience, also.  Will first reseat those TMP and other connectors this weekend.  I'll try to reach telephone support on Monday before I ship it to

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

My first thought would be that if re-seating TMP connectors does not do it then possibly one of the 0.1uF decoupling capacitors on the K-REF3 board. Had that on 2 radios now and on one of them twice. What is the serial number of your K3? On both of the problem radios I've had this happen

I have a spontaneous K3 failure after making no changes. This morning my K3 has only 1 or 2w power output when set to 100w or around 32w when the KPA1500 is turned on and set to OPER.  It's the same on all bands and with a dummy load.  It worked fine last night for several QSOs.  I tried a 5w
