That is exactly what it sounds like... 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist ARRL Asst. Director, NW Division, Technical Resources

I am not sure where to post this question. I have K3s to KPA 1500 to remote antenna switches to various antennas. Radio can be dead quiet, like not connected to an antenna. I touch the key to

My K3 is serial number 21 and is the first kitted K3. During assembly, I was concerned about the tension of the pre-installed Anderson Power Pole attached to the rear panel. It

Also use Anderson Power Poles for all my 12 volt DC - buy them from a reputable source ( SOTA Beams in the UK) and use a decent crimptool from the same source. No problems at all in my shack. Use a

I've had zero problems with APP connectors, in any application. They're an em-comm standard, and have been far less problematic than Molex or other connectors. We assemble them according to the

Sounds like there is something wrong with that pair. Elecraft have been using APPs for some time, the K100 (K2 Amp) comes with APPs. I have K3 Serial No. 174 and never had a problem. And I’ve used

My K3 is S/N 00158, as stated in my QST review. The power cable came with the radio. Is it possible that very early on, Elecraft did not crimp its Anderson Powerpole connectors? The problem is that

I've also used these connectors (but not on my K3) and find them robust, reliable and good value for money. 73, Quin G3WRR

Charlie – I made the (not so hard) decision that the only ‘standard’ I need is MY standard. 73 Lyn, W0LEN

Very nice, re-usable and relatively cheap connector, Lyn. Sure wish they were the standard instead of those one shot, (deleted expletive) A-P’s ! 73, Charlie k3ICH

I have replaced several troublesome APP connectors with these, and have had zero failures: <https://www.amazon.com/MCIGICM-Upgrade-Female-Bullet-Connectors/dp/B07Q2SJSZ1?ref_=ast_sto_dp> 73 Lyn,

I second that, everything 12v in my shack etc is APP. only if it has an adapter that goes in a ‘cigar’ socket does in not. -73 de M0XDF

If you're having problems with Anderson Powerpoles, then they've been incorrectly fitted, or are fakes. They do NOT need soldering, unless it's to a PCB. Crimping is actually more reliable than

Remove ALL other Connectors and Wire Direct to the K3. Get another power supply for the other stuff, then you can the Anderson Poles. KISS. - WA6VAB Sent from Mail for Windows 10

My problem is the finicky Anderson Powerpole connectors, which are far too loose. I commented about the problem in myQST review of the K3 in the April 2008 issue. See page 45 of my otherwise stellar

My bet is loss is due to excessive length of your power supply cable. I found the supplied Elecraft cable had too much loss. After cutting the length in half and securely connecting directly to the

I have no experience with JS8, but have you checked the USB port number in JS8 has not changed? And when JS8 and the radio is active have you checked the settings for COM port and USB port numbers.

Gerry, I had the exact same problem except on 17 meters. Performing a transmitter gain calibration with the K3 utility solved the problem. 73, Bart, NS4X

I usually operate CW. When I go to SSB on 75 meters with the KPA500 on, the amp will not put our power; unless I do the following: Go to CW mode and key up for only a second. Go back to SSB mode and I
