Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio problem
Hi Chris; I would stop using the radio immediately! Sounds like the main audio chip U1 on the DSP board is going out. When they fail, you can get a HI CUR warning because they are shorting out. They can heat to the point of destroying the DSP board (which we don't have anymore).

[Elecraft] K3 audio problem
Hi I have a strange problem with my K3/100. The audio through the internal speaker is low, but comes up much stronger with any slight movement of the volume knob. Then it goes back down again, often accompanied by a brief HI-CUR warning. Also when AGC is turned off, audio is almost zero. But, with the SP3 external speaker plugged in, the problem goes away! Any insights much appreciated.

[Elecraft] K3 audio problem
This weekend I suddenly began to have an oscillation problem in the speaker amp of my K3 (SN 969)) Headphones and the RX both work fine. I don’t hear the strange audio oscillation in the headphones), but the speaker amp appears to be having problems. If I turn on the speaker using SPKR+PH YES I don’t hear the RX audio in it (although the headphones continue to work. Any clues how to proceed? Thanks!

[Elecraft] K3 audio problem at T2T
Just spoke to VK4FW at T2T. One of their K3's works on CW but has died on SSB. Bill says they disconnected all cables, set all settings to match another K3 that is working on SSB, checked the microphone routing on the Main Menu and of course swapped out headsets. No joy. They are frantic to get it working and are at this moment on 24945 SSB listening 5 up. If any of the Brain Trust can help, please do. It's 2026Z.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio problem at T2T
I called them and worked them but was unable to make a suggestion to them that they download the same configuration file as used by the other K3, and re-start it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio problem at T2T
Garry, I am not at home right. Using another radio's config file will probably not work as the calibrations would be different between the two rigs. If you can get them on the air or by email I would suggest doing the EEINIT process and then redo the calibrations outlined in the manual (watt meter, TX Gain, VCO CAL and Ref CAL). It should not take them more than 15-20 min. They will also have to resetup their filter settings and activate whatever options they have in the CONFIG menu. No guarantee this will work but considering the urgency it is probably the first best bet to try. 73 Greg AB7R On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 12:27 PM, Garry Shapiro ga...@ni6t.com wrote: Just spoke to VK4FW at T2T.

[Elecraft] K3 audio problem
Hello, Last night I was transmitting on 160m and using stereo headphones listening with diversity RX and heard some unusual clicking coming from the K3 when transmitting. I pulled the diversity RX antenna that was plugged into the 2nd RX antenna port with no change. I pulled the RX antenna that was plugged into the main RX ANT IN port on the KXV3 and the clicking stopped. This told me I had too much RF coming in on my beverage antenna when transmitting. So I put the 2nd RX antenna back on but now there was no audio output from the KRX3 sub receiver. I'm using the sub audio knob as the balance control between the main and sub receivers. When the sub receiver is on and the pot is counterclockwise I get audio from the main RX in the left ear. But when clockwise there is no output from either side. I did have stereo speakers plugged into the external speaker port in the rear of the K3 and the spkrs were set to 2 when the problem started. Also I haven't done the AF mod yet. W hen I turn off the sub receiver, I get audio out of both sides. Does anyone have an idea of what might have happened? I did fix the high RF level coming from the beverage antenna by putting back to back diodes from the center pin of the coax to ground. Now I can transmit with no clicking coming from the K3. However, it would be nice to get the diversity reception back. Al CE1/K7CA ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] K3 Audio Problem
My DSP board failed 4 months after the kit K3 #818 was assembled. I had no audio anywhere. The S meter showed almost full scale. The receiver resting current went from .85 to 1.01 amps. Replacement KIO3 boards did not cure the problem. Gary at Elecraft suggested it might be the DSP board if the KIO3 boards did not solve the problem. I sent the rig to Elecraft for warranty work and it was the DSP board. Great service from Elecraft and Gary by the way. Since the QST review of the K3/100 also had an audio failure along with a few reported on the reflector, I wonder if there is a design/reliability problem here?

I use a Heil Proset Plus here and had the same problem until I realized I was leaving the speaker on when using SSB and listening to the monitor at the same time. The feedback was due to the speaker audio getting back into the mic. If you are not doing that, then it sounds like there is not enough audio isolation between the head phones and the mic, or you listen to the headphones at a high audio which is getting back into the mic. If the audio gain has no effect on the phone audio level, then you are probably plugged into the line out jack on the back instead of the phone jack. Just guessing...
