Don, you old f**t, I'm 32 already, 10 months older than thee.
Regarding surface mounts, I have used Scotch tape to pick up and place parts.
It holds nicely while tack soldering and is easy to reposition. I also like to
flood with solder and wick the excess, it's risky, but usually works
Just had my K3 for about a week need help with microphone, seems I have a

Hi all,
I just completed assembling a KPA500 and got as far as the power supply test.
When I do the power supply voltage test, the meter reads 7.9

Any thoughts?

You sure you're on the right range? 79 V would make sense. 73

You need to move some wires to be able to see the C and D described in

If this is the metering internal to the KPA500:
Maybe the transformer taps are wrong or bad? If we had a schematic of the
power supply we could find a location to measure the HVDC with an external
meter. (This would be like working on the plate supply of an old vacuum

If your K3 is connected to your computer for logging or rig control
purposes, make certain that the ground of the K3 is adequately bonded to
the chassis of the computer. I had a similar distortion issue on my K3

I have been away for 3 months. The K3 was completely disconnected from

Today I decided to update the firmware and when I turned the power on, I

Replace the memory back-up battery ... it's probably dead and you
are losing the configuration each time you remove power.

I was under the impression that the battery is only used to power the
real-time clock, and config is stored in EEPROM/flash.
If I was Tom, I'd try the EE INIT (page 66 in the manual) and see

Hi,
Has anyone had any bad experiences using a K3 and a switch mode PSU?.
The SEC-1223 looks great aware some can cause problems..
They say 'Totally noise free', that's some claim..

The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet tomorrow (9/11/11) at 1800Z on 14.3035
MHz +/- QRM. I will be net control from western Oregon, and we'll
try relays to pull in the stations that I can't hear. See you there.

OK! OK! I should have phrased it that nearly no hams build anything,
anymore (one out of a hundred hams), and most hams are scared of
trying to do SMT (if they even know the term). Oh yes, hams build
antennas (those things out of wire) and connect radios to other
accessories and plug'em in
