Question: what item in my household emits so much broadband QRM that my K3 is completely useless on 80 meters? Answer: the Toyota Prius in my garage. Turned off and not moving! Seriously! :-) 73, Steve, AI7AZ On Tue, May 15, 2012 at 7:27 AM, Bob K6UJ k...@pacbell.net wrote: Jim, I

All, Here's the latest on my K3, now that I'm back from 7QP and can put it up on the bench and focus on this. When the PA setting is set to normal, I can in fact hear the relay click when I turn the power control past 12 watts. However the display keeps indicating Hi Curr and kicks it all back

2012-05-04 Thread Steve Reed
Today my trusty K3 developed a strange and sudden problem -- I can't turn the power output past 12 watts -- the KPA3 isn't clicking in! It was working perfectly yesterday, but today not so well. Went through all the menus, even tried resetting the radio from scratch and re-enabling the KPA3 in

Thanks for the speedy replies. I should also add that the only thing I did was remove my K3 from the shack and take it with me for use at a remote location for the 7-land QSO party this weekend. I gently put it on the car seat and drove to the remote site here in Arizona. When I plugged the K3

I use the High Sierra HS1800 Pro antenna with my K3 at the QTH (I live in a restricted neighborhood). It works flawlessly, can't be seen by the neighborhood HOA cops, and has low SWR across all bands. Not sure if the HS1800 is made anymore, but from my experience High Sierra is a good company.

The CCRs that are effectively shutting down Amateur Radio in many residential areas desperately need to be superseded by the FCC. I would also add that although towers and beams are nice, they really aren't necessary for effective communication and in some situations aren't advisable. In my

2012-03-28 Thread Steve Reed
I have a KPA100 kit, brand new in the box and never opened except for a brief inspection. Since I now own a K3 this kit needs a new home! Elecraft's list price is $399.95 plus shipping and tax, I'll sell this for $350 (or best reasonable offer), and that includes shipping to your door. 73,
