Howdy K3' people: This time I see ERR TXG while trying to xmit CW on transverter xv50.
So I was wondering, am I asking too much from my setup? I want EME on 144 and 432, as I told Elecraft when I was laying it all out to buy over the phone. Does anyone use a K3 with XV50, XV144, XV432, KXREF with external GPS, tcxo's 8-pole matched filters, KAT500, and so forth ?/ Anyone. Because I can not get the three xvters to work together. One at a time xv432 and xv50. But xv432 won't put out more than 7 watts here .. at my place. XV144 won't put out unless I use an inline mini-circuits lowpass filter. Then it only gets 15w out. Here .. in my kludgy setup. XV144 & xv50 together in the daisy chain? XV50 won't put out over a half watt. If I use the low-pass then xv50 puts out 30, if you want it, but I run it a lot less. But then, with the low-pass inline, in the daisy chain, the XV144 won't put anything out. The xv144 somebody told my you simply must use a preamp. I believe that as I have trouble hearing a friend with 800 watts and 4 15 element 144mHz yagis at 160 miles from me. I am using two 15 element yagis at 50 feet on a ridge. So what do ya think out there? Have I just put too many add-ons to the K3 to make any of it work reliably? Todays Critical Error messages twice with ERR DSE and once ERR TXG. I did the Utility download and firmware update. I watched it go thru it. No error messages ensued. -- 73 KD7YZ Bob ______________________________________________________________ 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
