I just checked my K3S (using a solid state switching supply), and in receive the voltage on the meter shows 14.3 V (1.4 A), at 70W, 13.9V 18A), and at 100W 13.7V (21A) Not sure if that is a big issue

I agree; for a high value item that is heavy, I use the UPS store or FedEx. I think when you use one of these, any damage claims are honored. Had a couple issues with my KPA1500 way back, and found it

I would venture to say that no power out (especially in the 1 - 12 watt range indicated the failure of both MOSFETs (about half power indicates failure of one of them). I have had that happen twice no

I would obtain a DX Engineering Receiver Guard RF Limiter (DXE- RG5000HD. Have used one for years in front of my receive antennas (Beverages, HiZ 8, and SAL 30), and two of the three are close to my 1

Bill, I use the KPA1500 on RTTY; and yes, it will run 1500 watts on RTTY. BUT, it is not rated for continuous duty (like my previous Alpha 9500). It is ICAS rated with the following limitations: 100%

Been using them for years snd so far, no problem Dick, K8ZTT

Yes, and you have it now, not at the end of the year. You won't be worry, the K3S is a top notch radio.. Dick, K8ZTT

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

Wolf, Sorry to hear you are having problems with your new amp. Though my setup is a bit different than yours (I do not have the P3, but use LP-Pan, an Asus U5 sound card, and the NaP3 Panadaptor Displ

Ed, The 8 pins within the connector are tight; the part with some "play" is just the ring with the threads on it. Dick, K8ZTT

Well, I just checked my K3s, and be damned it is not loose too. I have never used it (I use the rear panel one), so it has been that way from the get-go. I also have a K3 (was replaced by the K3s when

I just downloaded and installed v 2.0. No issues on this end (but I just checked 160 down to 20 M). Dick, K8ZTT "The difference between Stupidity & Genus is Genus has it's limits."

Have been playing around with FT8 (mainly to try and increase my 160M country count). I have been using the 2.7Khz filter (Data and Data A) and has been working just fine. After downloading and instal

Don, Am surprised you turn off your radio every night. Other than when on vacation or TRWs are in the area, I leave my computers (I let the monitors go to sleep), K3S, and just about all the associate

Jeff, Did you try transmitting into a dummy load? If you have no issue with a dummy load, start looking at RF feedback into the radio. Dick, K8ZTT

Larry, It depends. I still use the line out to be send audio to the US Interface Navigator (FSK for keying RTTY). U also use the USB for FT8. Dick, K8ZTT

Besides using a quality dummy load, make sure the coax cable you are using between the dummy load and the radio is good (I speak with experience). Dick, K8ZTT

Larry, I would bet your problem is with the LPA board (one of the FETs has burned out). I had a similiar problem several years ago, and Elecraft sent me instructions on how to check the FETs. From wha

Chuck, Everything was working and has been working just fine for quite some time using the USB cable (have done several other firmware upgrades with no problems). This time, however, the firmware fail
