During the Route 66 Special Event this past 9 days, yesterday I think, I had the monitor audio quit. Didn't know what was going on but think if faded down and out rather than just dropping off instantly but in a couple of seconds or so. I was still transmitting and all was working just fine but no monitor output. Monitor setting was 5 during the "contest". Normally 4 in the past. I kept on going for a few more contacts and then powered down and up and all was well. I did have the internal radio speaker on and it continued to work even when the monitor was gone.
Later the same thing happened but this time with the radio speaker and the monitor was still doing fine. Again the power cycle corrected the problem. No external speakers connected, front panel headset and mic, yes to external power amplifier, firmware 4.05 "set", PC connected but not being used for control. I did have HRD up at times but do not remember if it was connected at the time. Generally it was not up. Only happened once on the monitor and once on the internal speaker and they each continued to operate when the other quit. Any other information anybody wants? Any ideas? 1752 contacts by me on my K3 during the W6P Special Event station from my location. Almost continuous comments on signal quality, clarity, cleanliness. Also was told loudest signal on the band several times (helps the contact count and keeps the frequency clear hi hi). The W6P callsign made 2651contacts in the 9 days (errors removed). Anybody who might have worked me, thanks. I beat the goal I had set for myself and for the club also. THANKS for an EXCELLENT radio. Sure pumps up a persons pride having those comments coming in. Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
