[Elecraft] KRX3A/KAT500 Antenna Connections

Seems like this thread was discussed before but I can't find it. I have a K3 in line with KPA500 and KAT500. I just installed the KRX3A in the K3 and am wondering how other folks with a KAT500 have their antenna connections arranged. I have two antennas, a Hex Beam and an OCF Dipole which are

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Problems

This is the right place to ask questions like this, since this is where we are listening. It is one of the major reasons the lists exists. I see from your second email that the asterisk is not being shown when the K3 keys. This indicates that the KPA500 is not getting the PTT signal. The

Thanks to all I have used K3 since Dec. 2007. Yes I like K3, however I do not like such malfunction. I replaced one of these encorder (which Dave suggested) in 2010. OK I will try Dave's suggestion and see how it works. Thanks 73 de aki ja1nlx -Original Message- From: Dave

[Elecraft] K3 - RTTY Mark frequency not at 2125, as set (FSK)

I tried setting up FSK rtty today for first time in a long while, and found I had a problem. I have a pair of K3 rigs on the desk. No trouble with one. On the other, Mark tone is sent higher than 2125. (It's high enough up that my 2d rig can't decode the TX signal. Maybe around 2600 Hz)

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Problems

Hi Mike, When you transmit from the K3 what do you see on the left side of the KPA500 display. Obviously it's not an asterisk. Are you seeing an Underscore. You may have accidentally programmed INHIB IN to ENABLE? See page 20 of the KPA500 manual. You will want it to be in DISABLE. /ENABLE

These malfunctions can be caused by switch problems in the four encoder/switches on the left side of the main VFO knob, e.g. CMP/PWR. Try pushing the buttons and rotating the knobs on these four encoders about 100 times each, and the problem may go away. Mine acted up two years ago, and I
