Anyone have any information (such as a manual) or gain information on
this antenna?

Thanks Don!
I aggree with you.
I used to calibrate RF-electro-surgery devices in a former life :)
Thanks for the tip on the non-reactive power resistor.
I think I will look to get one.
Good stuff!.

And same for the upcoming W2 :-)

I was wondering if anyone has used the K3 with the Ameritron ALS-600.
Any issues, gotchas, etc?

Hi Mark,
Your problem sounds as if the coax is radiating RF inside your Rv. Are you
using a ferrite choke or balun on your coax. You could even try one on your
computer to K3 rtty cable. They really do work! Radio Shack sells a few that
snap on the cable.

Doug -
I bought an older ALS-600 and put Phil Silas' QSK mod in it. It works
beautifully. 60 watts' drive for full output. If I wanted to make it
change bands from the K3, Ameritron tells me a $350 mod plus $119 interface
would be needed.
So you may want to look for a new or newer one
Thanks for the input Ron. The open-wire fed antenna has really captured
my interest. I have not had any luck get the 90' antenna to load on
80/75 meters. My balun us switchable between 1:1 and 1:4. I just
switched it to 1:1 after reading about baluns on the DX Engineering
website. Perhaps

Actually, I have a new one. And I have an MFJ-994B auto-tuner in front
of it. My current main rig is an Icom IC756Pro3 - which I love. I had

back on a more even footing I decided I can't live without another K3.

First, I want to apologize for the delay in getting this report out. I was

I am not certain what you are dong wrong (if anything). If it is
intelligent and lucid for even brief moments, you likely have things
correct, but you are getting data corruption somewhere.
Try increasing the data speed. Many USB to serial adapters work fine at
high speeds, but will
Tom,
The voltage at U4 pin 3 should be between 3 and 4 volts with 5 watts of
power flowing through the wattmeter section of the KAT2 *and* with the
FWD potentiometer (R1) fully clockwise.
U4 is configured as a unity gain op amp, and the voltage at the output
(pin 1)should be equal to the
Recent versions of N1MM Logger seem to have problems with serial port CW

As per Gary's suggestion, I removed and rewound T1. I also reflowed all the
joints in the SWR bridge and on U4. With R6 out, I still measure 0.0 V and
with it in I'm still under 3 v. With it in, I read the same 2.4V as before.
While I can't confirm the actual output power exactly, my MFJ tuner
Tom,
With R6 out, and DC voltage on U4 pin 3, but 0 volts on U4 pin 1, you
certainly can suspect that U4 is toast. Unless you have a solder bridge
between U4 pins 2 and 3 *and* no connection between pins 1 and 2 - that
would be 2 failures, and we normally expect only a single failure, so a

Carry on, don't give up. I want to know the answer as well.
