Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P3TXMon Wattage/SWR

I suggest that you label the ends with extra labels close to the SO-239 jacks with "in" and "out" or something else meaningful to you before opening the box. A labeler does a nice job, but a Sharpie marker will be effective as well. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/27/2017 6:56 PM, Nr4c wrote: I

And if your a typical ham curiosity will have you opening the minibox to see what makes it tick. Having done that the U box lid can be put on wrong so the labeling is incorrect. Learned that on my own 73, Bob K2TK ex KN2TKR (1956) & K2TKR On 8/27/2017 5:36 AM, Harlan Sherriff via

Is it the same sensor that is used with the W2 power meter? If so, can one sensor drive both devices? Glenn WB5TUF Original message From: MaverickNH <cbjesse...@comcast.net> Date: 8/27/17 10:55 (GMT-06:00) To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P3TXMon Wattage/SWR

Bret, Yes, get a 2nd P3TXMON and get a switch to change the RJ-45 cable between the two sensors. The switch will likely be a manual one. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/27/2017 8:34 AM, MaverickNH wrote: And while I'm at it, is there a way to put a P3TXMON on both ANT1 and ANT2?

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P3TXMon Wattage/SWR

Yep - LOAD to Antenna. That's what I thought should be correct. So why I installed it backwards last August, I'll never know! I just reversed it. Numbers look spot on now. *And* I see the UPS I'm using appears to limit output if I exceed the power draw specification. I just installed the software

The antenna connects to the "load" connector. Harlan K4HES Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 27, 2017, at 3:06 AM, MaverickNH wrote: > > Possible - which side should LOAD be connected...K3S or Antenna? > Bret/N4SRN > > > > -- > View this message in context: >

Any chance the sensor unit is hooked up backwards? (i.e. transmitter connector to antenna and vice versa) Alan N1AL On 08/24/2017 03:07 AM, MaverickNH wrote: K3S100/KAT100 rig with P3, P3SVGA and P3TXMON Directional Coupler 200W. When TX at 100W, on 80m for example, the PEP on the P3 shows

Hi Don, My mistake - yes, the internal ATU option for K3S is installed. I'll try as you suggested and report back. Thanks! Bret/N4SRN -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-P3TXMon-Wattage-SWR-tp7633727p7633732.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] P3TXMon Wattage/SWR

Bret, The most common cause of a high SWR is 1) you do not have the right antenna selected or 2) you have a bad (or loose) coax jumper or a coax fault in the coax to your antenna. What happens if you do not connect the TX Monitor coupler in the coax chain? There is a remote possibility that
