[Elecraft] K3 -ERR KEY

I get the ERR KEY error message with all other items unplugged from the K3 and a plug in the paddle receptacle that is not wired to anything. All works well with computer and straight key connected. I must have a problem with the paddle receptacle that occurred spontaneously. Any ideas from

[Elecraft] K3 - ERR KEY

I had my paddle plugged into the back of the K3 as it had been for months. I turned the rig on and got the message ERR KEY and I was unable to turn off the K3 with the power switch. The rig is okay if the paddle is not plugged in. I get the same error if I plug in a unwired plug into the

[Elecraft] K3 Feeding Other Radios

I am interested in listening to my K2 and K3 at the same time using the same antenna. I thought there was a post about how to accomplish this but I cannot seem to locate it. Can anyone point me to the post? or tell me how to do this. Pat , W8FV K2 - 257, K3 - 1286

[Elecraft] K2/KPA100 No Menu

I disconnected the antenna and the interface cable from the KAT100 in order to try out a different tuner I recently purchased. When I turned the K2 on and keyed it at low power it just stayed keyed and would not go off. I turned the power off and restarted the K2. I punched the Menu button

[Elecraft] SWR Increases

I have a K2/KPA-100 and the tuner also. I have recently tried 160 M. and noticed that as I operate and the rig heats up from transmitting the SWR begins to increase after the fan has been on for a while. I have not noticed this before. Anyone else observe this? I made sure the tpa was set

The K2/100 has been working very well for a couple of years but it has developed a problem. I was on 15 m. SSB and made a quick call and the rig made a noise, shut down, and restarted. It had shifted frequency and the fan was running when it came back on. I readusted the tPA. When I try to

[Elecraft] K2/100, computer control and CW

I am about to take a trip to Tanzania and have my call 5H9PD. Now all I need is some advice on a computer program that will allow me to send CW and log contacts. The Elecraft control software works and I can send CW with it but I have not been able to get any logging software to work so I can

[Elecraft] KAT100 Problem

I have been using the KAT100 for about 7 months and it was flawless. A few days ago I was operating and the electronic air cleaner on my furnace sparked and must have caused a spike. That spark tripped out the power supply to the K2. I have a separate supply for the KAT100. After resetting

[Elecraft] HI CUR LIMIT

On my K2/100 I have set the HI CUR to 3.5 but get warnings on some higher bands. The manual says HI CUR should be set to at least 3.5. Can anyone recommend what a typical value should be and what value I should not go beyond. ___ Elecraft mailing
