[Elecraft] K3 Receive gone

2023-07-02 Thread Jim Rhodes
A few months ago K4 #1200 came to live in my shack and K3 #4083 got a vacation on the shelf. It was working fine up until then, in regular use. When I pulled it down in preparation for Field Day it no longer had any receive on any band. Full output on every band except 10 meters where it only

Kevin, You were good on 20 meters with some deep QSB but OK copy. Then we got whacked by the sun pretty hard between nets and the story changed on 40 meters. I could hear you at first but your signal was below the noise peaks so your CW was getting chopped up and nearly uncopyable. Hoping for

Good Evening,    Twenty meters was fairly quiet but minimally productive. There was little thunder storm noise on either band.  That should give me a hint.  On forty meters Dwight, WM5F mentioned a solar storm.  When I signed off I came in here to check.  Sure enough that roaring sound drove

He never said what kind of antenna he was using.   A lossy antenna is much worse on transmit than it is on receive.  You can easily tolerate 20 dB or more loss on receive (for pretty much ANY rig) ... but not on transmit, especially in a contest like FD where there is tons of QRM on the

That was not my experience. Right out the bat we were occupying a frequency and calling. We were heard so well we found ourselves at the bottom of a pileup for the next two or more hours. You might want to take a closer look at your various mic and transmitter settings. These have to be

Hi Allan, In your original post you said your K2 seemed somewhat 'deaf.' Does that mean you hear no signals at all on any band, no signals on one or two bands, or just weak audio with antenna or signal generator input? Since your K2 has the K160RX option, I would check that the RX antenna is

Hi from Bavaria, I don't own a K4. But my experience let me bet "RF got into a cable". I wonder what power you are using. Have you hooked the K4 to a computer? If so, it could be a problem with the port or software. Good Luck Chris, DL2MDU Am 02.07.2023 um 10:38 schrieb Jeff Drew via

The K4 does one of two things: * gets stuck in transmit mode. Remedy: turn off radio. * Will not transmit when PTT or Keyed. Remedy: None I changed pistol grip PTT which did not corrrect problem. Need to know the fix for this problem urgently. Jeff N4JDU Sent from my iPhone
