Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 DC Connector Failure
Almost every APP failure I’ve had occurred when the connector slips back into the housing a bit and doesn’t clip over the internal metal connector in the housing. Make sure the connector laps over that piece. The 75 amp PP connectors do slip easily from the amp, as was earlier noted make sure you hear or feel 2 clicks and is solidly attached. 73, Lou W0FK -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] Fw: Re: FT8 - was "On Second Thought, I'll Take The Stairs"
I've used both Teamviewer and TightVNC, using my laptop to log onto my main PC. I prefer Teamviewer because the screen real estate is larger, and I can easily switch between my 2 monitors on the PC I log into. I've not used it off my house's network. The only issue I've found is that I need to make sure I don't play with the audio settings on the laptop after I've logged in, as it also affects the audio settings on the main PC. I mute the laptop audio first and then log on. Otherwise, I have to open the sound control (Windows 10) and change the speaker setting to get reset transmit drive levels. Also remember to set a personal password under options and allow "easy access" to your main PC. Otherwise you'll need to enter the main PC's randomly generated password, which is kinda hard if you're not in front of it. 73, Lou W0FK -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] NOT the feedline (was KPA-1500 faulting on 6m; SWR issues)
What are the error codes when you hard fault? Check them and see if there’s any consistency. I sometimes get hard faults when I’ve moved my rf deck, simply because the PowerPoles on the 12v line from the power supply have moved a bit and aren’t making a good connection. I usually see a 50v warning pop up that alerts me to the issue. Have you made sure that 12v line is secured? I also concur that 90 watts Drive into the amp is way too much. That suggests the amp is the culprit. The innovantenna balun is pretty robust. But if you suspect it, bypass it and test a direct line with pigtailed ends directly into the loop. 73, Lou W0FK -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 faulting on 6m; SWR issues
Peter, how old is your amp? I have s/n 153, and had a similar issue on 6. One of the torroids in, I believe, the low pass filter, ultimately burned out. Smoke smells from your amp are not pleasant. The factory determined that the torrid was delivered out of spec, and it was replaced. I suggest you get with support and let them trouble shoot the issue. It may be something completely different, but could still be problematic. 73, Lou W0FK -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
