Hi guys. Any idea what would be causing the K3's built-in ammeter to constantly fluctuate around 1-3A, and the voltmeter to constantly fluctuate between 13.3 and 14.0V on receive?
I occasionally notice HI CURR warnings, and the rig resets itself from SPKRS=2 to SPKRS=1. The PSU itself is fine - stable at 13.77V (measured at the PSU end) on receive, dropping to 13.13V when transmitting a 100W carrier. While checking the readings for this email I noticed that the ammeter stabilized at 1.07A for about a minute after I've transmitted at 100W for a few seconds, before going back to the 1-4A fluctuations. I wonder if this might be related to the PA pin corrosion problems reported on some K3s? Mine is S/N 2887. 73 Gary ZL2iFB ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
