Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

Problem solved (so far)!  I removed all cables from the K3, opened the top and re-seated all the TMP connectors. When removing the cables I noticed the screws holding the RS232 connector were  loose and the connector was very slightly unseated on the left side.  After putting everything back

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

Martin, thanks for the suggestion.  It sounds like a likely source.  It was also suggested to be a bad transistor in the LPA.  His was from experience, also.  Will first reseat those TMP and other connectors this weekend.  I'll try to reach telephone support on Monday before I ship it to

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

My first thought would be that if re-seating TMP connectors does not do it then possibly one of the 0.1uF decoupling capacitors on the K-REF3 board. Had that on 2 radios now and on one of them twice. What is the serial number of your K3? On both of the problem radios I've had this happen

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

Pete, the problem occurs with the K-3 connected directly to a dummy load or various antennas.   Power is read on K3 and Bird wattmeter. Mike, I'll try reseating all TMP connectors if there is no magic bullet. __ Elecraft mailing list

Re: [Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

Hi Jim, are you seeing these issues with the control cable between the K3 and the KPA-1500 connected?  Are you reading these output numbers on the K3, the KPA-1500 or an independent power meter? 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at , now spotting RTTY

[Elecraft] ERR TXG No Power Output

I have a spontaneous K3 failure after making no changes. This morning my K3 has only 1 or 2w power output when set to 100w or around 32w when the KPA1500 is turned on and set to OPER.  It's the same on all bands and with a dummy load.  It worked fine last night for several QSOs.  I tried a 5w

Re: [Elecraft] Err TXG message

Igor, Try this: attach the dummy load and then tune the ATU into it. Then switch the ATU to BYPASS for the calibration. I am not sure why this helps, but it is worth a try. This is only for the non-S version K3, in which the ATU is not really bypassed. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel

Re: [Elecraft] Err TXG message

Igor, Try doing the TX Gain Calibration manually (described in the manual). It is a bit tedious because it must be done on a band by band basis. An email to supp...@elecraft.com may get quicker attention than the form on the webpage. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/1/2020 4:48 PM, Igor Sokolov wrote: My

Hi Bret, Thanks for the suggestion. I confirm I set the 2.7Khz filter as the TX filter for all modes but AM where the 6Khz filter is used. I left FIL1 slot empty as I plan to add an FM filter at some point (and more filters for CW/data) later, but according to the manual, that's fine to do so.

You need to select the slot number that your 2.7Khz filter is in. I'm getting the same ERR TXG failure on all bands with my rig and have low receiver sensitivity and it just happened all of the sudden during field day. Not sure what happened but I'll be certain to post the findings once I get it
