I am surprised that the front end protection would kick on with that much RX antenna spacing and only 50 watts unless there is another way RF is getting into the shack. If that is what's happening I concur with W3FPR. Another option would be a receiver overload protector such as https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-rg-5000 .

Since at greater than 50 watts, you hear relays clicking indicates that the K3S COR is being activated. The solution is to either move your RX antenna further from the TX antenna or use some device that disconnects or grounds the RX antenna while transmitting. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2017 7:26 PM, Steve Steltzer via Elecraft wrote: > Here's the setup : 3 month old K3S. Full wave 80 mtr RX loop. Closest point to TX antenna is around 200 ft. Over 50 watts I hear relays clicking and stations have a hard time breaking in even using QRQ plus. I assume the RX antenna is not switching fast enough and I'm getting milliseconds of high RF into the front end and protection relays are kicking in??? ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
