[Elecraft] [K3] short circuit at power terminals

Yikes! My reliable K3-10 has developed a short circuit across the power input terminals. Well, to be exact, not quite a dead short. It measures 0.6 ohms across the PowerPole connectors. It most certainly does blow fuses on the input line. Any suggestions for trouble shooting? And also for

[Elecraft] K3 Parts transfer between rigs

I embarked on a project to move parts from one K3 to another and I got the rigs back from my tech elmer tonight. After getting the K3s home, I decided to follow the procedure to get them operating again. I had my tech elmer transfer the KAT3, KRX3, KDVR3 and KBF3 from one of the K3 to the

You can remove the resistor pack by using heated solder on all the pins on one side. (You need to be fast!) Heat up one side with the soldering iron and apply lot of solder, the solder works as a heat distributor, losen one side, and do the same on the other side, use solder wick after to

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Parts transfer between rigs

Keith, You can download the assembly manual for the K3 from http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm#K3 and open up the rig and check for errors. It's tedious, but not difficult. Or take it back to uncle Elmer and make him do it. 73, Mike NF4L On 10/19/12 3:12 AM, Ham Radio wrote:

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Parts transfer between rigs

Hi Keith, This type of transplant takes more preparation then meets the eye. For example, the Sub RX also includes the addition of a KSYN3 board and an AUX DSP board. Forgetting to install either of those two boards could create some of errors you are seeing. Then there are other things to check

Was the DSP2 board and the synthesizer board for the KRX3 transferred from the other K3. From the errors you are getting, it would seem that they were not. Did your tech elmer just do the unplugging/replugging job or did he check the result out after each option was transferred? What did he

Hello Lewis, I experienced this same issue once, and the problem ended up being the Transil diode D28 on the main pc board, near the 12 vdc power input connection. It is a large diode, and I believe it's purpose in life is to protect against excessive input voltage. It should begin to draw

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] short circuit at power terminals

Lew, with a good digital ohm meter and 0.6 ohms of resistance you can sometimes walk down the traces looking for a 0.0 (or as low as your test leads measure) short. This doesn't always work since your problem may not be a dead short but it is a simple starting point before going into more advanced

Re: [Elecraft] KXV3 ant RX protection [K3]

Luca, That is not done internally in the K3. If that is a problem for you (you do not have adequate isolation between your TX antenna and the beverage), you will have to add that protection externally. Switching the RX antenna input to a dummy load during transmit should do the job nicely.

Hi David Group, I did find the spec for the input SWR in the manual - it's listed as 1.5:1, so my amp is well within spec. I'm going to forget about it. I guess I'm used to old tube amps with tuned inputs you could adjust on a per band basis. This is my first SS amp, so I'm learning.

The internal 2M transverter IF connects into the the Main receiver input chain downstream of the Main/RX antenna switch. So it can only be used on the Main receiver. In fact the ATT and Preamp works as normal as the whole input side is pretty much connected. I have other 2M transverters here
