[Elecraft] KX2 tx low power on 80M SSB

Dave, mine does the same thing on 10 meters. Wondering if a firmware change might fix it. Press Tune for a second & the problem goes away. The KX3 doesn't have this problem.  73,Reed  W4JZ __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Good Evening,    Conditions were adequate to better.  QSB was deeper on 40 meters.  The band was changing quickly.  Signals ranged from S1 or less to S9, sometimes in the same sentence.  Spring is starting. Flowers are blooming ranked by elevation.  The daffodils are blooming down in Banks

[Elecraft] Hi Resolution Photograph of K4?

I try to enter the elecraft net 20m frequency directly; I push the FREQ ENT button, then 14.303500 and it only accepts 14.303; if I try 14.303.5 it does the same thing. Am I trying it wrong, or is it just not possible, or do I have something set wrong? Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

Re: [Elecraft] K3 frequency entry

My KX2 manual on page 15 says: -- enter one or two MHz digits, optionally followed by a decimal point and up to three kHz digits. Next tap enter (BAND) to accept, or any other switch to cancel. Examples: 14.255MHz: FREQ 14.255 + enter 7.000 MHz: FREQ 7 + enter > On Mar 21, 2021, at 3:56

Re: [Elecraft] K3 frequency entry

I just enter kHz ... "14028+AFX-Key".  Works fine for HF.  I think there could possibly be an issue if you have transverters connected, in which case the technique in the manual is very likely right.  One can always do it the "Ham Way" and just try it and see what happens.   We might be

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 tx low power on 80M SSB

Thank you to Nate W1NAT and Reed W4JZ for your quick responses to my post. I have carried out the TX gain calibration as you have both suggested and that has fixed the problem. I now have the correct power output on all bands from 80 through to 12M. 10M is still a little low initially (about

Great to hear, Dave! I’ll be posting the outcome of my KX2’s trip back to elecraft, so watch the reflector if you’re interested in following along. As of now no ETA from elecraft, it’s been there about 2 weeks so far. Nate W1NAT Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 21, 2021, at 8:05 PM, Dave

[Elecraft] AX1 Performance Report

Tested out my KX3 portable setup out in the back field today, KX3 to the AX1 through a 25' RG-58 coax, set up on the tripod mount with the included counterpoise laying on the ground. I was running FT8 using only 2 watts and had several nice 17m contacts into Japan, plus TX and IN. I worked a

Re: [Elecraft] K3 frequency entry

Having only used a K2 and a KX3, my experience agrees with your experience. If you enter as 14303, it should go to 14.303 MHz. I just tune by ear from there anyway. Of course, then you’ve got the problem that many people can’t seem to tune in SSB so that they’re all on the same frequency, but

[Elecraft] best grounding technique

If one is grounding on the inside for lightning, you best think otherwise!    Any and all grounding for lightning should be done outside of the structure.  You should have lightning protection devices on all coax, balanced, and rotor lines installed BEFORE they enter the structure. Internal

Many years ago I contracted with Motorola for a large repeater communications system/building to be located at an existing tower facility that was already called home to dozens of other radio systems. The Motorola R-56 standard was the 'bible' they quoted from and used. I have personally used
