Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 s/n 56

Another possibility, especially if you are reaching behind the KPA1500 to insert the USB cable, and can't see the connectors well, is that you've accidentally pushed the square USB-B plug it into the square RJ-45 (Ethernet) connector instead of into the USB-B connector which is just above it. 73,

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 s/n 56

Thanks Bob, I looked at the USB-B connector again, unplugged from the WinKeyer and plugged into the KPA1500, no virtual port was created. Elecraft agrees with you about the USB chip being bad.  They've sent me an RSA so the amp will go back for service.  I asked if we could do a board swap

[Elecraft] Macbook Pro, K3, FT 8 audio quits

I am running a MacBook Pro with my K3. In WSJT-X, the audio will work fine for awhile. The audio switches back to the internal IO in the computer. I have to restart the program to make it work again. I have the upgraded KIO3B installed. What am I doing wrong?? W9OD

Craig, You are doing nothing wrong. Many folks have had this issue with Macs, including me. One way is to use a USB—>Thunderbolt adapter; it appears that several years ago Apple changed something in the way USB2 is handled in the OS and the result is audio occasionally getting sent to the

[Elecraft] Any KPA1500 received that were ordered after 1st day?

I wonder if a better way to track how the KPA1500s are shipping (versus shipping status page) is that when someone on this list reports receiving one, can you tell us the day you ordered it? I saw a report of serial number 56 which I assume is still a day one order. It would help those of us

Re: [Elecraft] Macbook Pro, K3, FT 8 audio quits

Look at your computer for the answer. There have been several reports of "strange things happening" with WSJT-X from MAC users lately. I can't say whether the problem is the MAC OS or the WSJT-X software's interaction with the OS. Windows users do not seem to have similar problems. Maybe

Tony, You might want to use LINE IN for computer generated voice or something like that. Be aware that if you plug anything into the LINE IN jack, the K3 will turn off the audio output (but not input) of the USB AUDIO CODEC. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/3/2018 12:20 PM, N2TK, Tony wrote: I have

I can’t add anything specific to resolve your issue. All I can say is that I have been using WSJT-X (currently v1.9.0 - rc2 r8533) with my K3S with absolutely no problems. I simply connect the the 2 with a USB cable and follow the instructions to set it up. Perhaps the problem is related to

[Elecraft] KPA500 Fault Question

My KPA500 was purchased new in July 2017. Use regular 120V outlet. I run the red transformer tap to keep my transmit HV above 60 at full 500 output. The yellow tap did not provide sufficient voltage on transmit. Thus the red. I have a whole-house surge protector just outside my main breaker box.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Fault Question

Robert, It is possible that the fault is brief enough to register in the fault table, but not turn off the amp. The 65 to 85 volt range is to be determined with the amplifier turned on, but not keyed and certainly not running at 500 watts. Do as the manual indicates and measure you AC

This is too funny. Guys, relax. I'm sure they are working their butts off to get the amps out as quickly as possible and as QA'd as possible. This isn't Apple that can product 8M phones on a weekend. This is a small company with a lot of people doing a lot different jobs as fast as they can.

I'm glad that you're amused, Mike. It's less funny to those of us who "loaned" Elecraft $6k at the end of August, based on projection of delivery in October (i.e. 5-8 weeks). Here we are, 7 *months* later, and it still doesn't even seem imminent. $6k is a "chunk of change" (at least to most). They
