There is some pretty hilarious irony in that recommendation from MFJ.
That being said, is there any possibility to swap out the battery pack?
If it just gave up the ghost on it's own (i.e., you didn't accidentally
blow the front end or something), that would be my first suspect for

I have an MFJ 226 and it seems fine. But a friend had that one too and opted to
get a Rig Expert analyzer to replace it because he liked it better.
Might be a chance to try one if your MFJ is dead.

I have no experience with that one, but a common failure of other small two
port VNAs is ESD blowing the RF switches at the ports. That is a one port
VNA, so I don't know if it even has switches.
What can it hurt to replace whatever part is closest to the connector?

I already did what they said they would do: open it up and look for any
parts that had come loose and resolder them. They don't build it and can't
do much in the way of troubleshooting. It's also out of warranty.l

My MFJ-223 VNA took a dive (cause unknown). The SWR readings are very high
regardless of load.
Has anyone found a schematic for this thing? The manual also mentions an MCU
reset switch, but I'm guessing that's outdated. No such switch.

Here is the log for the Single Side Band Net which took place on Aug. 18, 2019.
The net meets every Sunday baring any contests or field days or holidays. The
frequency is 14.303.5 and the time is 1800Z. All are welcome.

I agree, Andy. The manual should probably clearer about that. Setting it up in
the K3 when no KAT3 is installed is a little weird too, but it works out.
To check this out I used the KAT utility to watch the frequency that the KAT500
was following. You do have to understand that the readout
Well I must admit I learned something new and I was not correct in
stating the KAT500 followed the RX frequency. I normally never have
the RX and TX more than 1 kHz or less apart and rarely use RIT. Hence,
when I change the RX I'm also changing the TX and the KAT500 follows.
I did confirm
"If setup according to the KAT500 manual (and using the appropriate cables),
the KAT does follow the K3(S) TX frequency."
Thanks Wes, and to Dick for his earlier comments. I'll assume from now on
that anyone saying the KAT500 and KPA500 follow the RX frequency of a K3(S),
when TX freq not

Does anyone know what the CAT commands that allow you to switch from VFO A
to VFO B?
I have the phone section of a band set to VFO A, and the CW section of that
band in VFO B. I have the filters and mode set for each section of the
band.

Bill's (NR4C) feedback was the key, thank you!
My K3s was configured as LIN OUT=PHONES. With that setting installing the
headphones would disable the Line Out jack on the back (perhaps thinking it
might be attached to some external audio processor). Changing to LINE
OUT=nor 010 keeps the Line
I believe accidentally hitting the KPA500 with 200 w while in operate

President,
The K4 will work with all K3 accessories:
- MH4 microphone
- SP3 (but we'll also be offering an SP4)
- KPA500
- KAT500
- KPA1500
- Kpod (connects to a USB port on the K4)
The K4HD uses the same style of crystal filters used in the K3, so it may be
possible to reuse some of
But it’s on the INTERNET!

The current version of the KAT500 manual is Rev C6 (3/8/17) and directs users
to connect the power cable to "the station 11 to 15 VDC power supply". This
is another reason why we should use the most current manuals and update them
with firmware changes. Elecraft is one of the few in this
Yeah, the group. We could take a vote. Or just ask Elecraft directly. This
seems more of a tech support question to me.

I doubt it. Where the TX MON board go? There’s no O3 and no SVGA module.
I too wonder about the sensor.

I just tried an experiment with a K3S and KPA1500, which uses the same
AUXBUS frequency mechanism as the KAT500. The KPA1500 has an LCD display of
the XCVR frequency, as sent by the K3S/K3 over AUXBUS. It comes in multiples
of 8 kHz.
I set VFOA to 14015 and VFO B to 14074.
