[Elecraft] K3/10 connected to KXPA100/KXTA100

2021-12-27 Thread Ed Cole
Operation of the the KXPA100 with its tuner works great with my KX3 using the KXUSB cable (particularly nice when KX3 is mounted on my truck dash and amp is under the back seat. But I also use the amp/tuner with my K3/10 (low power version) which has no KXUSB jack. I just connect PTT to the

I doubt that ice on the antenna would have any effect in terms of increased loss.   However, I would expect the resonant frequency to change and thus the need to adjust the tuner.   If it is and ATU / automated tuner, then perhaps a bit too low power may cause the SWR bridge to read

Yuck!  As a retired recording studio engineer, CBS Records, having the same signal out of phase by 180 degrees to one ear, is much like sticking and ice pick in ones ears. Most systems will have a variable phase shift depending on frequency, usually not to exceed 30 degrees.   In this case,

I doubt that pogonip or even solid ice on your antenna would have major effects [well, except for weight].  Ice forming from water directly from the sky is a pretty good insulator.  We had a very large Log-Periodic on the roof of the hangar at my first USAF assignment in the remote northern

Hi Don,   Thanks for the recommendations and comments.  Both the KXPA utility and the KX3 utility communicate fine with my hardware setup.  I'm guessing the WIn4K3 Suite does not properly communicate with both devices through one com port.  I'll see if I can post on their groups.io forum and

I didn't have a good night in the K1USN Slow Speed Test. I started more-or-less on time and tried to answer CQs. None of the stations I tried could hear me. My SPE 1.3K amp said I was putting out about a kilowatt, although the antenna tuning on my normally low SWR 40M dipole needed to be

Matt, You likely have a problem with U7.  At least, that is the thing that you need to resolve first. Sorry about U6, it usually makes a loud pop when the base and collector are shorted.  You will have to replace it before you get any power out. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/25/2021 2:51 AM, Matt

John, Only one KXUSB is needed.  The other is just a TRS to TRS cable. The KXUSB cable must connect first between the KXPA100 and the PC.  The second cable between the KXPA100 and the KX3. If connected that way, everything should work. See if both the KXPA100 Utility and the KX3 Utility will

Greetings,   Has anyone using Win4K3 Suite with a KX3 and KXPA100 been able to get the KXPA100 to show up in the Controller menu ?  Is another KXUSB cable required?  How is your system all connected?  Is this even necessary or even possible ?  I have my KXPA100 and KX3 connected as diagrammed

The K3 does have several stereo functions, including something called "binaural" and a few delay settings. But it does NOT have the capability of spreading signals out by frequency like the KX3 can. 73, Victor, 4X6GP Rehovot, Israel Formerly K2VCO CWops no. 5 http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On
