Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem

Dave, What are you using to power the P3? Try a good stiff power source - not a wall-wart. If the power source cannot provide the current required at the voltage required, then you will still hear a relay click as the P3 tries to power up, but the current or voltage from the power source

Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem

Hey Dave, Is the P3's 12v supplied from the 12v aux port (rca Jack)? If your K3 is a few years old, you might need the K312mdkt. This boosts current output from .5 to 1.0 amps. - 73, Russ - W9RB -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/

Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem

So on page 38 in the manual, how are the jumpers configured? Mine is set up with Jumper across 2 and 3. When power is applied, the P3 turns on, but the power switch can still turn it off or on as long as power is present. Chuck KE9UW c-haw...@illinois.edu Sent from my iPad > On Sep 7, 2019,

[Elecraft] P3 problem

I bought a used P3 from an estate. Unfortunately it doesn't power up. I am sure that it has 12+ volts and that it is jumpered correctly. I can hear the relay click when I press the power button. Anything I may be overlooking? I have actually read and reread the manual. Dave N1IX

Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem

Congratulations to have found the cause. If signal level on P3 screen becomes unstable while the BNC cable is completely plugged in at both sides, check the cable itself. My case was that the signal level was unstable and sometimes went very low. I had thought that K3 or P3 circuit was in

Thanks to all who replied so quickly.  The BNC cable wasn't completely plugged-in at one end.  Sometimes it's humbling being human!   73, Doug  N7QS __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help:

Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem...

Hello Doug, My guess would be that the cable that should connect the P3 "RF IN" BNC to the K3 "IF OUT" BNC is either not fully-engaged on both ends, or is defective. 73, Dale - WA8SRA On Sat, May 26, 2018 at 4:52 PM, Doug Eaton via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Hello

Re: [Elecraft] P3 problem...

Check your coax connection for the IF input. If you have another one, try another jumper. Grant NQ5T K3 #2091, KX3 #8342 > On May 26, 2018, at 4:52 PM, Doug Eaton via Elecraft > wrote: > > Hello Elecrafters. I recently moved my station to a different room. After

[Elecraft] P3 problem...

Hello Elecrafters.  I recently moved my station to a different room.  After setting everything up in the new location, everything works normally except for the P3..  The P3 turns on and boots-up normally, but there are no signals on the display.  The frequency of the K3 is displayed correctly

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Problem

Hi Paul, Thank you for the suggestion, but respectfully, I am not sure I want to take such a brut force fix for this, as I have many prams set, that are not at default. Does this reset everything in the radio to factory? I want to understand what is happening before I make changes... --

[Elecraft] P3 Problem

My P3 can't seem to remember its firmware. When I turn it on, it looks right, but as soon as I press Ref Level, it goes into the P3 Boot Loader screen. I've reloaded the firmware (latest) 3 times and the same thing keeps happening. I have disconnected and reconnected the power cable to no avail.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Problem

Hi Ken, A 'parameter reset' should solve the problem. Hold down the MENU button while pressing the POWER button. This will reinitialize all the parameters to their default values. 73, Paul -- View this message in context:

Thanks to Dick for pointing me to manual FW loading. This worked very well and I now have both my K3 and P3's FW updated. The reason I felt this was necessary: Our Field Day was one typhoon after another with multiple heavy downpours and thunder/lightning. Through multiple shutdowns, our FD

I get that too, but usually just for 2 or 3 seconds and sometimes not at all. I have never got my head around it, but I think it got worse after fitting the SVGA board. That leads me to another 'feature', in that the SVGA screen will occasionally do a complete refresh of the waterfall, without

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Problem

Hi Larry, It sounds like the SVGA is not seeing that the K3 has stopped transmitting and has gone into receive. Here are some suggestions: 1) Make sure both the SVGA and P3 are running latest firmware. P3 1.26 SVGA 1.16 2) Ensure that the serial cable going between the K3 and P3 is good and

[Elecraft] P3 Problem

I am using a P3 with the SVGA option. It is connected to a K3. I find that frequently after transmitting -- particularly calling a DX station in a split-frequency pileup -- the P3 display comes back sluggish or almost frozen for up to 20 seconds or so. Then it returns to providing real-time

[Elecraft] P3 Problem

Hello ... Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed the screen on the P3 will disappear and turn white for a split second ... It would do this every couple of minutes. Now the screen is blank and completely white ... none of the buttons have any effet on the P3 . Any suggestions ? N4LA / Todd
