Mark, The amplifier is not keyed while the KAT1500 is tuning. Similar to the KPA500 and KAT500. You do not have to put the amp in standby, it is done automatically. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/26/2018 9:34 PM, Mark E. Musick wrote: Hi Jay, Why would you need the HF AUTO ("My question is this. Is

Re: [Elecraft] Pie rack K-Line

Very nice looking setup! I use a similar rack from home depot which holds the K3, P3, four transverters and amps for VHF / UHF, and associated SWR meters, etc. About 360 days of the year it sits on the desk in the shack connected to the shack computer and antennas. When it's time for a VHF+

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 questions...

Hi Jay, Why would you need the HF AUTO ("My question is this. Is there an option with the KPA1500 that I don't have to reach over and keep hitting stand-by on the amplifier every time I need to touch up the HF-Auto")? The KPA1500 has a built-in tuner. Is there a reason you do not want to use it?

[Elecraft] KX2/KX3 operating tip: A/B testing of two antennas without retuning the ATU

Sometimes you’ll have two antennas available for your KX2 or KX3, for example different whips (my situation the other day) or a whip and a wire, etc. In both cases you might be using the internal ATU. Q: Do you need to retune the ATU each time you swap antennas? A: No. Both rigs have a menu

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 questions...

Hi, Jay! The KPA1500 bypasses the power amplifier during ATU TUNE. Your K3S can communicate its current VFO frequency to the KPA1500 via the ACC cable. The KPA1500 will then change the ATU based on frequency, without transmission. If you have several antennas, as I do, I've done the tuning on

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 questions...

Jason, the short answer is that when the KPA1500 and K3S (or K3) are connected via the KPAK3AUX cable and your K3S config menu is set to "power per band" the K3S will memorize two separate power settings per band .. one which kicks in when the amp is set to "STBY" and the other when and the mode

[Elecraft] KPA1500 questions...

Group good evening. I have a certain style of operation and a question about the KPA1500 I would like to ask in the group. My normal operation is the K3S into a Palstar HF Auto that tunes several antennas on my property. I have had a lot of amplifiers in the past, from solid state to tube amps.

IPC-610 is really an acceptance criteria, what it should look like after it is done. A company or industry can choose to use this or not. Some think it has caused companies to build in lower cost countries that don't actually follow it, but claim to. One of the major standards to build to is

Back in the early 80's, a friend of mine had a job-related subscription to "NASA Tech Briefs" (or something like that title). I never read the article myself, but my friend was very good at relaying details. One of the subjects covered was soldering and the "shock wave" problem. IIRC, the leads

When installing the DSP board,it is very easy to mis-align the 5-pin connector between the front panel board and the DSP board. This connector carries mic audio from the front panel microphone jack to the DSP. 73, Lyle KK7P __

From Robert's original report: Radio: K3 He says, "All normal settings are oke, but still no audio, even not with a hand microphone.", so I think we can assume he has a problem with the microphone. He describes his settings as: TX is working normal. = Mic sel : FP.H - high = Mic

'voice not working' Ok ... some more questions to help those of us on this list figure out what you're trying to convey. First I'll assume we are talking about a K3 or K3s. My next assumption is that we are talking about a receiver problem and not a transmitter issue. If either of those are

[Elecraft] No Audio

Sorry, I think I am not specific enough. It's the voice what is not working, since I installed the subreceiver. As said, I have not changed the settings and tested it with the headset, but also the hand microphone. After saving a configuration backup, I did a factory reset, that didn't solve,
