Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Fuse Issue

The PX3 should draw no more than about 200 mA from the 12V supply. When power is first applied, there will be some inrush current due to the filter capacitors but I'm surprised that's enough to blow a 1A fuse. Is it a fast-blow type fuse?  Perhaps a slow-blow type would solve the problem.

What is the purpose of opposite sideband nulling with the PX3? I was able to do every band except 50Mhz. On 50 I was not able to get any change at all. The other bands nulled fine. Is there a factory setting I can use on 50Mhz? Tnx, Mal WA2TWA -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 computer interface to KX3

But it doesn’t the P3 talks to the K3 at 38,400. Weird things can happen when mixing nauseates. Why ask for trouble. BTW: My K3S came defaulted to 38,400. I think the 4800 on the K3 was a carryover from K2 days. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Apr 27, 2018, at 4:16 PM, John

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 computer interface to KX3

Good news. I run all my Elecraft stuff at 38400. But if 9600 works why change :-). 73, John N1JM > On Apr 27, 2018, at 1:14 PM, Bill Frantz wrote: > > Bingo! It had been reset from 38400 to 9600. I have no idea how or when. > Thanks for the clue. > > 73 Bill AE6JV >

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 computer interface to KX3

Bingo! It had been reset from 38400 to 9600. I have no idea how or when. Thanks for the clue. 73 Bill AE6JV (BTW, did I say that I hate RS232. With all the parameters that can go wrong, and many strange voltage conventions, it seems to be an interface designed to cause problems.) On

[Elecraft] PX3 computer interface to KX3

I'm sitting in New Hampshire and I find I can't get my computer to talk to the KX3 when it goes through the PX3 using the ACC1-PC jack. The computer can talk to the KX3 when plugged in directly to ACC1 jack on the KX3, and the PX3 can get the frequency data when plugged into the same jack. I

Thanks very much - I've fiddled around with the settings so much, I've gotten lost. :-) Best regards, Tom, W1TEF On 4/25/2018 8:25 AM, Bob N3MNT wrote: Turn PX3 off ( using switch on PX3) Hold the Labels key and tap PWR ( Hold labels for 2 secs then release) You should see Configuration

[Elecraft] PX3 reset....

Greetings, Apparently I can't read owner manuals correctly.  I'm trying to reset my PX3 to factory specs and I don't seem to be accomplishing that. I'm probably missing something, but could somebody tell me what I need to do. (I need to do this because I've hopeless messed up the display

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Green Cursor Bar Color Inverting

The cursors look different depending on mode (CW, SSB, various digital, etc.) And the mode setting is stored per band. So probably it's just that different bands are set for different modes. Alan N1AL On 04/24/2018 11:09 AM, John_N1JM wrote: On some spans and some bands the VFO A Green
