[Elecraft] No Waterfall Display in FLDIGI when KX3 is in DATA mode

I recently connected my KX3 with a Signaling USB interface and using FLDIGI on my Macbook Pro. I was NOT receiving any signals on the waterfall display when I was in the DATA mode recommended in the KX3 Owners Manual. However, I was able to receive signals if I switched to USB. I was able

[Elecraft] 4:1 Balun Question

I built the BL-1, 4:1 balun in 2005 and just pulled it out to look at it. I have somehow misplaced the original construction sheet I received with the balun. Comparing the construction sheet that is currently on the website to how my balun is hooked up, it appears that I didn't hook it up on

[Elecraft] KX1 3080 Module High Current Now No power Out

Things have been going down hill this last weekend. Started with a bit higher current than manual stated on 80 meters (65 ma) to read about 105 ma. Then I noted that I could not get any power out either. Rig was working fine with just the 20 and 40 meter module with currents and power out.

[Elecraft] KX1 High Current

Just completed the 3080 module...more challenging than the KX1 itself. I am experiencing higher current on 80 meters than the manual suggests (65 ma).. I'm seeing 106 ma. This is with the board on the bench, not in the case. I've noted at other places in my Elecraft building experience that

[Elecraft] KX1 40 meter Peak

All: I am in the process of doing receiver alignment on the KX1 after installing the 3080 module. I am unable to detect any peak on 40 meters during alignment, similar to what I heard during the basic KX1 receiver alignment, prior to installing the 3080 module. Does this indicate a problem

[Elecraft] Another Try

I discovered I do not have any tuning on the 10 meter band. I can change frequency on all other bands, except this band. The LOCK is not on. Any ideas from the Elecraft group? Thanks, Steve ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net

[Elecraft] K2 lost tuning on 10 meters

I was checking the bands this evening and noticed that the tunng knob had no effect on 10 meters. All other bands change frequency just fine when the knob is turned, but on 10 meters the frequency display stays right at 28000, with no change when the knob is turned. Any ideas of what may

[Elecraft] KX1 D2 Voltage checks high

The voltages I'm seeing on both the cathode and anode of D2 are higher than called for in the manual. I am seeing approximately 0.225 volts a.c. on one end and about 0.110 volts a.c on the other end of the diode. Pins #1 of U1 and pin #6 of U3 show about 3mv. I rechecked to assure the three

[Elecraft] KX1 High ac on D2

Don, I connected a battery and now the readings are unstable... not consistentrechecked the solder connections. So, the high a.c. reading is now fluctuating, although I believe it may have been on the regular power supply. Steve ___ Elecraft

[Elecraft] KSB2 Fine Carrier Adjustment

Thanks to Jerry, WA2DKG, I got past the Deaf K2 by plugging the speaker into the P5 on the RF board vs. the Control Board. I'm not sure how or where I missed that it should be plugged in there, but it works, so things weren't shorted after all on the KSB2 board. Now I'm at the Fine Carrier

[Elecraft] K2 Nearly Dead following SSB module installation

K2 was working wonderfully on CW, and decided to finally install the SSB module I'd completed months ago. Picked up on the steps where I left off by removing two jumpers, W2 and W3, and resistor 167 (Page 13 of the KSB2 book). The board plugged in snuggly, and the K2 powered up with the

[Elecraft] K2 is Deaf following SSB module install

(Corrected original message to state capacitor vs resistor 167) K2 was working wonderfully on CW, and decided to finally install the SSB module I'd completed months ago. Picked up on the steps where I left off by removing two jumpers, W2 and W3, and capacitor 167 (Page 13 of the KSB2 book).

[Elecraft] K1 Receives as good or better than K2

I have read the 25 reasons commonly found for K2 poor reception, and many other posts. My K2 receives, transmits, and I get good reports. All of the resistance and voltage checks were right on the mark. The alignment was done by the manual, but as I recall there were some times that I did

[Elecraft] K1 Assistance (Power out during transmitter alignment)

I was recently at the transmitter alignment stage, and apparently did not fully understand the procedure. I did not exit the TUNE mode, but kept tweeking the pots for max power. I melted the grommet, but was getting 6+ watts out up until that time. Elecraft graciously sent me a new Q7, which
