Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 208, Issue 4

Check to see that the correct antenna is selected on the K3. In SSB mode, pressing PTT and not speaking into the mike or having the MIC gain at or near zero, the radio will show no output.  How about CW mode? 73 Bob, K4TAX On 8/8/2021 12:07 PM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote:

Re: [Elecraft] K2 RF Output

That won't work - the KPA100 must be physically removed to keep the base K2 from using the KPA100 wattmeter. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/8/2021 1:54 PM, Frank Krozel wrote: Just power the radio, not the PA -73-  Frank    KG9H kg9hfr...@gmail.com On Aug 8, 2021, at

Re: [Elecraft] K2 RF Output

Jerry, Replace diodes D16 and D17 in the KPA100 wattmeter, and things should settle down. If you attempted to adjust KPA100 C1 while this condition was present, balance the wattmeter again, it will change with good diodes installed. The diodes are 1N5711 type. That wattmeter is still used as

[Elecraft] K2 RF Output

All, My new QRO K2 behaves a little strangely... On Tune - it makes 108W on 40M, very nice. But on 20M it behaves strangely. It won't make more than 20W or so, complains about high SWR. Even though my Heathkit HM-102 SWR/Wattmeter says the SWR is zilch. So I moved it to a dummy load.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 dilemma update.

Richard, The two horizontal bars in the SWR display indicate that the KAT3 is not installed, go to the menu and activate it. As for plugging in the speaker, hold the top cover in a tilted position and route the wire under the horizontal bar in the center, then onto the speaker plug on the

[Elecraft] K3 dilemma update.

As mentioned, one day it worked, overnight while I slept, gremlins at work. Unit powers up but will not receive or transmit. White noise is heard and all buttons seem operable. The only issue I do notice, when ATU is tapped, instead of a number indicating swr, two bars horizontally appear and

[Elecraft] K4D in NAQP - Little Things I Liked

Although I've been field testing the K4D for quite a while now, I still find little things to marvel at. In this weekend's NAQP CW, for instance, I really appreciated these gems: - Logging with N1MM, operating SO2V (single operator, 2 VFOs), I often tap the tilde/grave key to turn the

Mike, I haven't seen anyone mention this before, so make sure you haven't hit the "ANT" button and moved the selected antenna to the open PL-259. Probaly should show ANT1 on the display. If it shows ANT2, hit the ANT button on the front panel and re-select the right antenna. Jim, W0EB

Hi Jerry, Yes the little fan is a screamer. It's job is to remove heat from within the K2 chassis rather than cool the actual PS transistors. Now to rake over old coals. A few years ago I was providing a signal source, QRSS 30 seconds dot period for a mutual grey line propagation
