Jerry: We had turbine generators on our airborne missions in SE Asia a
lifetime ago ... 10 KVA but very light, 2 troops could carry one at a
moderate trot. We found we could muffle the whine very nicely with
sandbags.

Good Evening,
The sun was orange all week, dark red at sunrise. Smoke is causing
the trees to lose leaves. After I started dinner yesterday I walked
onto the porch. The red huckleberries are easy to spot in this new
color scheme. I was interrupted by a snort to my right. The wind was
Were there thunderstorms in your area overnight?

I recently purchased a K3 and Panadapter.
No issues since June. Last night after using the radio, covered and went to
bed. This morning…it’s like the antenna is not attached. No receive and when
keying the mike…no transmit. All other radios work off my Butternut antenna.
Went into utilities
While editing, tap DISPLAY to change the KPA100 fan mode:
x FAN nor is the normal setting; the fan stays off until needed
x FAN LoHi keeps the fan at low speed, going to high if needed
x FAN Hi keeps the fan at high-speed at all times in QRO mode

All,
Not sure if I'll actually be using this PA... The fan is just so
LOUD! It's like a mini turbine engine running on my desk.

Hi Dick,
Does the K3 Utility talk to the radio? Perhaps then a reload of the firmware or
a forced reload might help?

A couple of month ago I purchased on of these babies for my KTA500 and
KPA500. I just love them, I am able to see all the parameters is so
reassuring.
I should have purchased them sooner.

Jerry,
What is the serial number of that K2? If below SN 3000, it likely does
not have the alternate AF gain wiring.
In any case, with those symptoms, replace tha AF Gain pot.
Check to see if the KPA100 has the latest updates. The instructions for
the KPA100UPPKT will tell you.
Also check
All,
My new K2/100 has a scratchy volume control knob. Also, it still
makes noise
at full CCW. I suspect that the volume control mod was not done. I'll
be taking it
apart to take a look.
If none of the mods were done, it might make sense to just transfer
the KPA100
& KAF2 to my QRP
Dick,
Download either the KRX3 or KDVR3 installation instructions. I know
both tell you how to remove the Front Panel assembly.
That will tell not only how to remove the assembly, but just removing
and re-instaling the Front Panel may wipe the pins enough to remove any
oxidation and restore

A few years ago I picked up a couple of the Hobbyking LiFePO4 packs, and a
couple friends of mine did also. Every one puffed after some months despite
being properly balance charged, not overdischarged, and not really used
very hard. They continued to operate, but they were clearly outgassing.
