Re: [Elecraft] [K2] Output power not matching power setting and very unstable between transmissions

Yes, when HiCur is detected, the power will be reduced to the level permitted by the value in the CAL CUR setting = and that value will be stable. If HiCur happens on 40 meters (but not 60 meters), and 20 meters (but not 30 meters), 15 meters (but not 17 meters), and 10 meters (but not on 12

Exactly. This is computer polling. Put as much ferrite on the USB (serial port) cable as you can. 73, Igor UA9CDC - Original Message - From: K4ia via Elecraft elecraft@mailman.qth.net To: bwru...@gmail.com Cc: Elecraft Reflector elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, October 06,

[Elecraft] HI RFI HI CUR above 12 Watts on K3 Screen, RX shuts down for a minute .

Problem originated on 6M(affects all bands) when ATU was being used to Tweak SWR from 2.4 to 1.0:1. ATU constantly moved up and down tuning, never resting on 1.0:1Power output was intermittent(100W) would go to zero then back to 100 as ATU was looking for match. Then, HI SWR, RFI scrolls

[Elecraft] KX3 Mic/Phone Adapter Question

I've got a KX3 that so far has only been used on CW or data, and have been using fairly bulky Sony headphones with it. Those phones work fine, but aren't exactly something I want to use in a portable / car camping environment. Yesterday while at Fry's electronics I saw a lightweight headset

[Elecraft] KPA500 band change problem

Hi I run a Kenwood TS-2000, KAT 500 Tuner and KPA 500 amp. In the last few months I have been having an intermittent issue with my amp. On some occasions when I have changed bands it will not follow the band changes like the ATU does. So if I am on say 14MHz and change to 7Mhz the ATU changes

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] How much AF volts at 1kHz to get full RF power using KSB2?

I’m rapidly getting nowhere with this problem. I need to understand how the overall circuit works and what I should expect to see on the ‘scope. My understanding is that RF Power is basically under the control of a feedback loop controlled by the VRFDET circuit on the RF board. The front panel

Re: [Elecraft] [K2] How much AF volts at 1kHz to get full RF power using KSB2?

Gareth, You should find between 200 and 400 mV peak to peak (dependent on the particular speech patterns) from an electret microphone such as the Elecraft MH2. That is 70 to 140 mV RMS. That is sufficient to drive the SSB output to pull power. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/6/2014 3:57 PM, Gareth -

Re: [Elecraft] Split N/A

Don't know if bad drivers is the right term, possibly new drivers might be better. I agree however that trying to fool proof can lead to all sorts of problems. Although I thought [in the early 80's] that this cellular telephone business wouldn't catch on [heavy phone-in-a-bag] ... I am now

Re: [Elecraft] Split N/A

The problem isn't drivers or anything like that, it is attempting to deal with application software that does not handle the K3's unique interface. For example, WSJTX 1.4 when controlling *any rig* via DXLab Suite's CI-V Commander sets the frequency (VFO A), turns on split, then sets the

[Elecraft] New KX3 field-test firmware -- improvements for PX3; misc.

This is a bug-cleanup release, rev. 2.25, that will appeal to specific KX3 users. Changes are listed below. This release also supports text display on the PX3 (requires PX3 rev. 1.12), and DUAL RX (dual watch) even with RX SHFT=8.0. Both have been extensively tested at this point. If you're
