Re: [Elecraft] K4 interface to KPA-1500

With a KPA500, just set RADIO to K3, and this works fine with the K4. No KPA500 firmware update is needed. The K4 recognizes the difference between the KPA1500 and KPA500 by the AUXBUS messages it receives, so it changes popup messages such as "KPA500 Status: operate" and "KPA500 Status:

[Elecraft] KAT500 Locked on Ant 1

It may not be related to your problem but there is a documented issue with enabled antennas not being selectable in BPY mode. Elecraft is aware of this issue. Because of this problem I never use BYP mode. I use BYP state in MAN mode which is electrically equivalent. Andy, k3wyc

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Locked on Ant 1

Hi, Thank you Dick K6KR, and Skip NC90 for your help. I ended up doing a factory default, enabled the ant per band and all is well. One question: After setting the configuration, saving, shutting down, and powering up I found in checking "edit configuration" ant 1 and 3 were no

Is there an update to the KPA500 firmware that reflects the K4? 73, Alan. G4GNX -- Original Message -- From: "Bob Wilson, N6TV" To: "James F. Boehner, MD" Cc: "Elecraft Reflector" Sent: 30/04/2021 05:38:24 Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K4 interface to KPA-1500 Also be sure to set RADIO

Re: [Elecraft] [K3] RTTY Questions

Are you using an external RTTY program, e.g. MMTTY?  If not and you're using the internal CW to RTTY feature, I can't help you.  Otherwise I'm assuming audio input via Line In.  Baud rate is set in the program. Make sure the audio drive, set by 1) soundcard level and 2) "Mic" gain, drive the

[Elecraft] Dummy Load with integral digital wattmeter

I have recently built a GRPoMeter which has a 16 Watt dummy load with a digital SWR/Wattmeter in it. It’s great...but only reads up to about 14 Watts. I would like a similar dummy load meter with a digital meter that reads say 0-10, 0-100, and 0-1000 watts full scale. I like and use the Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Chirp

Let me give this another try. Anyone out there ever have an issue with a CW Chirp from a K3? Mine seems to be intermittent, it's not always present. I've got a spare K3, I guess I will drive out to the station and swap out the one there now. If it's not the power supply, the only other thing

Great laugh out of this, thank you! And so true… JIT depends on so many things working, which are not now for myriads of reasons. I could barely wrap my brain around 20,000 containers on a single boat, wedged across the Suez no less - and blocking how many more?! In some ways it reveals
