Re: [Elecraft] K3 #281 Perceived Output Issue

Jerry, Thanks for the response. I'm curious, however, why removing the 100W PA and running calibration tests at 10W would matter, if I'm already seeing expected results at the 10W power level. That is, I set the output power on my K3 to 10W, and transmit using a full duty cycle mode. On the

Re: [Elecraft] K3 #281 Perceived Output Issue

Because there's a specific calibration process during build that's performed on the 10w system prior to installing the 100w amp. With the 100w amp in place and the jumpers configured the data is speculative as to which circuits are in operation. The key to troubleshooting is to isolate. Don't

I am hoping to use a K3 to transverter from 14 MHz to 144 MHz with an existing transverter. I need to cover from 14.000 to about 14.400 MHz on transmit for the weak signal end of the band. I believe that the K3 can be enabled via software to transmit outside the limits of the ham bands. The

Re: [Elecraft] K3 #281 Perceived Output Issue

Ian, Either the LPA or the KPA is compressing above 5/50W. Set the K3 to 5.5 watts and check power output on each band. Then set the K3 to 10 watts and check power output on each band. Then repeat the process at 55 and 100 watts. That should tell you if the LPA or KPA is compressing and

My suggestions are LMR400UF or Andrew FSJ1-50. They are the only cables I use for low-power jumpers in my shack. Down stream from my larger amps, I use LMR600UF. BTW, Tessco is a great place to buy all of your cable and connector hardware. Alan - N7MIT -- View this message in

Re: [Elecraft] HRD question

Not nearly good enough for JT65b on 144 MHz. Have you done the temperature compensation? I use my KX3 on 144 MHz but the difference is I am using a transverter with an IF of 14 MHz where the drift is proportionally less to start with and the external transverter has a very high stability TCXO
