[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,    Snow and rain alternated this week.  One day snow line would be above me, the next 1000 feet below me.  Then the county crowned the gravel roads.  It feels like driving on freshly poured concrete with four flat tires.  Due to all the clear cuts there is little left to slow

[Elecraft] Local remote receive

2021-12-11 Thread Jim Rhodes
Looking for the simplest way to remote an SDR to the other end of the lot to use as a local receiver. I live in an apartment and that is no place to put a receiver. I have a constant S9 noise level on most bands. I am thinking of hanging my SDR in my garage half a block away where there is almost

I am offering for sale my factory built Elecraft K3S-F and my P3-F. These units were purchased new by me and used exclusively in my temperature controlled, pet and smoke free ham shack. Both units have seen very little use, especially the last three plus years as I have spent virtually all of

I don't know if this is useful, but I have noticed that my KXPA100 with ATU takes a few seconds to ramp up, or at least to light all the LED's up to 100W.  This happens only on the first transmit after sitting awhile and I just assumed that it takes a few seconds for the coils, etc. to warm

Dave, changed the K3 Tx Delay from normal setting of 8ms to 14ms and K3 puts out full power as soon as amp tuner completes. I'm using a non-resonant antenna on 60m, so just wanted to use the tuner in the amp.Thanks for the tip.Bill K4MWB -From:

I don't know anything about the KPA-1500, but I have seen similar power ramping if I have K3/config/TX DLY set too short for my AL-1500 amps.  With that amp, I have to set TX DLY to 14 msec.  What happens is that the K3 sees a momentary high swr before the amp relay closes, and throttles back

[Elecraft] KPA-1500 tuner power ramp up

2021-12-11 Thread k4mwb
When using the tuner only (amp on standby), ATU tune works fine, but observing the PWR it ramps up slowly from 0 watts. For example K3 set to 100 watts, amp on standby, press ATU tune and it takes about 15 seconds for the amp PWR indicator to reach 100 watts. Is this normal? There is no noise from

[Elecraft] KAT3 ATU Problem

Mike (K8CN) and others - thanks for your inputs. I'm talking to Paul at Elecraft Tech Support who, by the way, is being most helpful. He reckons I have a problem with the Low Power Amplifier which takes a few seconds to come up to full output power. I'm not at all sure how that affects the SWR
