When I had my KPA500 I never ran more than 25 watts to get full output.
Doesn't sound right to me.

And I have a two element SteppIR beam but I also have a BiggIR vertical which
was my only antenna here. Small lots deed restrictions etc. I've had a lot of
beams, quads, wires and verticals in my 40 years of hamdom but as far a
verticals go, the SteppIR along with my K3 has been simply
I don't use a desk mike but I do use a Heil Proset Headset with the HC-6
Element. I believe I bought it when I had an IC 746 Pro. I just like having
both hands free as I keyboard all my logging, look folks up on QRZ or play
solitaire when waiting to check into the ARES net!

I run an SGC 230 on my motorhome into a 33 foot telescoping antenna. I
never attempt to tune the Smartuner running 100 watts. I always crank
the power down to about 5 watts and tune. Then run the power up. I did
the same with a KW rig I owned in an antenna restricted neighborhood in
FL many
Got up early this morning and noticed a soft yellow glow from the shack. I
never leave anything on so upon closer inspection, I found my KPA 500 display
was on and the message said MCU Load. The power switch on the front of the amp
doesn't work, the menu button doesn't work and the only way
So, I got responses from Greg here on the reflector but also from Gary, Dick
and Wayne at Elecraft. A simple download fixed the problem. I couldn't get the
amp to turn on so the KPA utility wouldn't connect to it from my puter but when
I told the utility to reload the software, it did it
Don't have anything left from Elecraft that is free. I used to have a nice
shirt with my name and the serial number of my first K2 on it. They gave it
to me for running a booth at the Utah state convention back in 03 if I
remember. I guess that means it wasn't free! I have a SteppIR hat that I
My K3 died a couple of weeks ago after I installed the 2m module. I guess my
static electricity protection was lacking although I did the work on a
static mat and had my wrist strap on all the time, grounded to the station
ground.
In any case, I sent the K3 to Elecraft, got a confirmation email
Downloaded it yesterday. I don't notice any significant differences. Still
working just fine with my K3

Check your filter locations and make sure they are selected. As I recall
you must instal the filters in slot 1 then 2 then 3. In other words, no
skipping over slots.
I have no filter in Slot 1 so that isn't the issue here. I do remember a
I purchased and built my K3 sn #6226 a couple of weeks ago. Since that time I
have added, one at a time, two more roofing filters in addition to the 2.7khz
and one more that I got with the kit. Adding those two new filters a week or so
apart apparently uncovered an issue with the latest version
David, I upgraded to the new HRD last week. I'm running a K3 and a KPA500 and
also a SteppIR vertical. All are working just fine with the newest version of
HRD. No issues at all. I'm running the same configuration as you, different com
port but that shouldn't matter.

I'm looking at linear supplies and the MFJ-4035MV looks like a good value.
Has anyone used one? Thoughts?

I have one Bill. I replaced a 2225 or something like that switching power
supply with the 4035. The first one MFJ sent me had a defective volt meter in
it
