You might try grounding the key in jack on the back of the amp and see if the problem goes away. If so, the problem is not in the amp. Dick, K8ZTT

Good morning all. All of a sudden, my KPA1500 is showing a fault: RF IN, NO KEY IN If I drive the amp with 10w, it works nicely. 10w 450w out. When I drive the amp with 15-20w it immediately defaults

Lou Thanks for your response. Doug from Elecraft contacted me and informed me that the heat sinks are where I was describing the heat source. How did you know I was old enough to remember Valves.

K3s here and right side is luke warm. If I remember there is a SSD mounted there, so it serves as a heat sink, but don’t quote me. I’ve built two K3’s from kits and the last one I have I

Hi Mark. Sorry I misunderstood. Yes, I was talking about the internal transverter, although I’d assumed that they were both the same in operation. 73, Alan. G4GNX

Yes, Jim. Thanks. Tho I was already aware of that. Let's see, in the original posting and original question, am looking for a command that can be used in just PF1, that will toggle between ^FC2

Mark, The commands were as in the original email: Yes, both PF1 and PF2 can be used for this purpose, PF1 set ^FC2; and PF2 set to ^FC0. I assume the screenshot from the KPA1500 Utility

To the right side are mounted the voltage regulators developing some heat. So hot right side is normal. 73, Martin, OK1RR (#7554 owner) Dne 11. 05. 19 v 1:36 Mel Marcus napsal(a):

I have sn4290 and it gets slightly warm on the right side but not hot. Does it get as warm as the tube gear used to get, if you remember that?

I am fairly new to the K3. Got unit back from repair and update. Have not transmitted with it yet. Unit seems to get hot on the right side. Is this common or do I have a problem Mel NE9A

Some transverter vendors will provide a 50Mhz IF, giving the whole 2M band coverage. There may be a cost to adding a 50Mhz IF instead of 28Mhz....

I have done that with PF1 and PF2 but I prefer the KPA1500 remote program, which allows you to set a minimum fan speed with a slider: Yes, this is 6M FT8, though I’d prefer to be on 6M CW,

Hello, all. Looking for a Macro Command String for PF1 that would, on first pressing, turn the fan to Speed-2, and on the second pressing of PF1, would turn the fan speed to Speed-0 (zero). Any

Alan, Are you referring to the internal 2m option for the K3? I’m talking about the external XV144. It’s manual says (on page 3 frequency range 144-146 Mhz. It also says that the IF input

Mark. I can’t help you with other rigs, but I can tell you that the 2 metre transverter DOES cover the entire band 144-148 MHz. It’s in the spec at the top of the manual and there’s even a

I am interested in adding a 2m transverter to my K3. I would like to use it with other transceivers (Flex 6700, Apache Labs 7000DLE, Icom 7610). The Elecraft transverter only covers 144 - 146, but I

I appreciate everyone's input on this topic. He is going to join this group so I am sure he has all of these comments. 73 Paul KB4GYT

Your contacts' problems do indeed sound RFI related and the ferrite suggestions made by others may help. There is also the possibility that he is suffering from a weak Internet service link on one or

I agree with Rick. The cutouts I encounter as almost totally the result of a slow internet connection. It is most noticeable on CW and will make you sound like a LID! That said, RFI can do the same
