Tom, Besides what I wrote previously you might go to the A.R.I Italian ARRL website and print out their instructions for reciprocal operation in Italy. Your prefix will change depending on where you are operating from in Italy. It is also handy to have this even if in English in your

[Elecraft] new K3S (10195) and audio level drop when KPA500 in Oper mode

2015-08-29 Thread jim rogers
Good morning, I have a new K3S, serial # 10195. All was going well until I hooked up my KPA500 to the K3S using the Elecraft supplied aux cable (E850463). In standby mode (on the KPA500) the audio level on the K3S is nice and loud, BUT when I press the OPER button on the KPA500 the audio

Perhaps your KPA500 key line is being pulled low? Might be a cable issue. I think there's an asterisk on the left side of the KPA500 LCD that shows when the PA KEY line is being pulled down. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On

Hi Ken, First make sure the cables between the PX3 and the KX3 are firmly plugged in on both the KX3 and PX3 sides. Pay attention to the I/Q 2.5mm cable. During adjustment, move the encoder slowly, the adjustment values are usually small. If you're still having trouble, please contact

Jim, Did you check what the K3S power level displays when the KPA500 is in Operate mode? It could be set for very low drive. I have mine set up to lower the drive from 100w to 30w when the KPA500 goes from standby to operate. If you have the setting for per band mode enabled, you will need to

Jim; Dick’s advice is sound. When in OPER mode, the KPA will display an asterisk on the left side of the display when PTT is applied. If you are seeing that indicator, check the PTT connections to see if there is a short to ground. When using the KPA with your K3S, you should only use the AUX
