This reminds me of the IC706 (I think) which has a spike leading edge which
shuts down an Alpha (which has protection circuits) but not a Heathkit for
instance. Or is it just the power control itself which is faulty?

I was going to leave my K2 (#5413) as a QRP rig after I got my K3, but a
few weeks ago I felt the need to melt some solder. So, I ordered the
KPA100 to make it into a K2/100 that I can easily switch back to a plain
K2 by removing the KPA100 and putting the original top with the KAT2 and
KIO2
Fascinating story, and I'm particularly impressed with all that Mr. Ruby was
able to do (with a broken leg) before even calling for help. This guy is
really cool under fire! He lives only about 60 miles from where we are now
finishing up our summer residency here on the Oregon coast. It

The use of battery power HF rigs for wilderness travel is a good idea.
I had a TenTec PM2 ?? it was a 40 and 20 M rig and had all sides. Maybe some
one can identify the real model number.
I first used this rig when I was OX5BT. (1970-1972) I was there for 2 1/2 years.
Later back in the states I
It was indeed a PM-2 ... owned one myself many years ago.

It could have been a PM-1 also, which similarly covered 40 and 20. I have a
PM-3A (original owner), which was the first of a very long series of Ten-Tec
radios I have or still own. All these PM series rigs looked very much
alike.

I know that you can get an empty case, the ec2 to match the k2
I just asked elecraft if there were any plans to market a case (ec3?) to
match the K3:-
I do not know of any plans at this time, but I will certainly pass along
your interest and we'll see if there is enough interest to consider it
Well, strictly speaking, I made the contact USING the K3 and it was an
interesting QSO at that. On 20 meter CW, using 50 watts to a G5RV pointing
exactly the wrong way, I answered a CQ from JA1NUT. Shin came back and gave me
a 559 (not bad from California at 2026Z) and immediately asked me if

Mine came today too - sent on 8th received 25th (parcelforce as we all know
and hate).
Installation took 3 hours, half an hour of that was trying to get it to work
and understanding all the things that need to be set up. A todo list would
help here.
The synth needs calibrating. The filter(s)
When I listen on ANT1 and switching to ANT2 (not connected to anything)
I can hear pretty good signals on ANT1 on all bands! What is wrong?

There is a to do list complete with check boxes to make sure you don't

a while because I had to remember how to do each task, having last done it

Good idea Mike.
Interesting about the clock. Did you install the cover over the clock
battery before installing the KRX3 module?
If so, did you make sure the cover didn't slide between the battery contact
and the battery itself (Fig 38 pg 33)?
If you forgot the cover, you may have a short
Yes! Something around 7 inches wide, such that front firing speaker
and power supply will fit; making the side-by-side combo suitable for
fiting a rackmount cabinet space.
But, I am sure that there are others that want a full-size empty K3
space for even more goodies - a link-coupled antenna
I found last week, with help from a few guys, that my problem was the
controller on the control board that was defective. I received the one
yesterday. plugged it and turn ON the K2. now I am able the
enter menu... the K2 in RX finally. But when I added my SSB board,

Jean-Francios,
I am sorry to tell you that apparently your KSB2 U1 is likely to be damaged.
Is it possible that there was nothing wrong with Control Board U6, but
the entire problem was KSB2 U1? There is a possibility that both were
bad - that happens, but rarely.
73,
Don W3FPR
I think that U1 was also defective. because, even with the SSB
board removed, the K2 was always in TX when powered on.
I will order U1 sniff...

Strange behavior on 80M split operation. K3/KRX3 interfaces with BiggIR
vertical through LP-Bridge on 80. Running simplex on 3503 all is ok.
Running split on 80: RX 3503; TX 3505, the BiggIR heads for the hills

back to TX
There may be a bug here. The key seems to be simplex or split. If I put
both vfos on the same 80M freq and leave K3 in simplex, SteppIR tuning is
perfect. If I select SPLIT and key K3, the SteppIR controller heads to
35Mhz even though both vfo's are on same freq.
Fortunately, I have a

Interesting about the clock. Did you install the cover over
the clock battery before installing the KRX3 module?
Think a minute ... when installing the KRX3, the front panel
is removed. Where is the battery?
Of course the RTC will be reset - it is disconnected from the
battery.
True, if the KRX3 is installed after the initial build, Joe.
I didn't think of that.
