My first thought would be that one of the boards worked itself loose. I would open it up and check to make sure everything is still seated properly. Buck k4ia On 2/25/2011 2:45 PM, Dale Long wrote: Just back from dxpedition as HQ5A in Honduras. My K3 may have had some rough handling both

I took a KX3, coax and coil of wire in carryon through Reagan to JFK and to Israel on El AL. That is the toughest security route in the world. No one said a thing or asked about it. Brought it back in checked and Xrayed luggage. Again not a peep. I was prepared with a copy of an ad showing

Re: [Elecraft] Planning the next filters

Get the 1.8 if you work ssb. Experiment with shifting the pass band for maximum clarity. Youll be amazed just how narrow it can get and still be understandable. On Mar 8, 2018 11:24 AM, "Chuck Chandler" wrote: > Right now I have the stock SSB and a 400 Hz filter in both

P3 doesn't have a mouse point-and-tune feature that I know of. LpPan with NaP3 software does. On Mon, Feb 17, 2020 at 10:42 AM wrote: > I've been fighting getting the P3 for years. After trying to get SDR based > pan adapters to work reliably (I like the mouse point and tune feature) > I've >

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 powercycling at higher wattages into KPA500

I suspect voltage sag off the 120v line. Lights flickering is a symptom. The specs call for 1000VA in and that translates to about 8 amps at 120v. The specified fuse is 12 amps so peaks may be higher. Add everything else in and consider you may have a 15 amp line with a long way back to
