Re: [Elecraft] Using A 6 Meter LNA & Amplifier with the K3S

2018-09-23 Thread Peter Torry via Elecraft
Hi John, The acc cable is used to convey the control signal from the sequencer to the K3 so that the TX INH will inhibit the K3 when configured correctly and can be used whether or not the band is built in or not.  It may be possible to use the ALC output from the sequencer dependent upon its

Hi John, Pin 7 of the Acc connector is the transmit inhibit input that is enabled in the config menu.  That is the only way to ensure that the K3 remains in Rx until the sequencer has completed its cycle. I use this with all my transverters and LNAs to ensure their correct sequencing. It is

May I raise a word of caution and suggest that you carefully consider the frequency of any beacon in view of the international use of the band.  50.000-50.030 MHz reserved for a Synchronised Beacon Project *Region-1: *50.000-50.010; *Region-2: *50.010-50.020; *Region-3: *50.020-50.030

Hi Alan, I would strongly recommend that you do NOT use ALC for any form of control signal or drive limiting.  For control use the inhibit on the acc connector and for power output use the K3 pwr control. Look forward to hearing you on 2m. 73 Peter G3SMT On 04/03/2018 21:04, G4GNX

Re: [Elecraft] Adding a low noise preamp into the receive line of the internal 2M trnsverter

2018-02-24 Thread Peter Torry via Elecraft
Howard, Adding an internal preamp is not a trivial task as it would mean some surgery on the transverter board. What makes you think that you need a preamp?   The sensitivity of the transverter is more than adequate for all normal use and any spare funds should be put into  new low loss
