[Elecraft] HELP! KPA-500 HV is 10 Volts

2019-05-04 Thread Andy Durbin
"When I powered-up the unit and tapped "HV" I get numbers between 9 and 11 volts (expecting ~ 65 or 70 Volts)." I'd suggest measuring the actual HV rail at the PA input spade terminal. That will tell you if you have a real low voltage problem or a voltage sensing problem. The interlock

Just got a repaired KPA-500 PA/LPF module from Elecraft and installed it in my KPA-500 Amp. I carefully (I thought) reassembled everything. When I powered-up the unit and tapped "HV" I get numbers between 9 and 11 volts (expecting ~ 65 or 70 Volts). I know this is not right. I double-checked

John, You apparently had some glitch in the computer to K3S communications during the process. Go to the Help file in K3 Utility and look at the instructions to "Force a Firmware Download" and follow the steps listed there. Once you get to the actual firmware download, do not interrupt it

[Elecraft] Problem with K3S F/W update

2019-05-04 Thread Jim N7US
I just tried to update the F/W in my K3S to 5.67 using the Utility (Rev 1.167.25) but it failed. The TX LED is slowly flashing, the display is off, except for MCU LD. I couldn't turn off power to the radio with the Power button, so I turned off the P/S and turned it back on, but no change.

Hi, I recently installed a private K3-Remote System using my existing K3 and adding a K3/Ø Mini Control Panel. I have the RRIGSET and all required cables installed. I have tested the system and it appears to work well as I can both hear and control the remote radio and send CW on my straight key

Or you could use a threaded through nickel plated brass spacer. Comes in several lengths… Use a nut driver to tighten. https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/215/452A-1452E-737207.pdf Sent from Mail for Windows 10 __ Elecraft mailing
