[Elecraft] KAT500 Web Link Broken

[Seb]

The subject says it all.  The website links to an older version of the KAT500 
Utility, I was able to find the current one though.

Re: [Elecraft] K3. FD shutdown

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

If it was mine, I'd start by dropping it onto the operating desk from a
height of about 6 inches, onto the bottom feet and, if that didn't make it
quit, onto the side feet. 

I presume the cables you checked were external to the K3. There are a number
of coaxial cables with TMP connectors around the synthesizer and reference
oscillator boards the might be loose since they are simple friction fit
connectors. 

IF it is a K3/100, be sure the KPA3 amplifier module is fully seated and the
screws are in place.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3. FD shutdown

My K3 (s/n 453x) has been used for FD and other outdoor events plus use at
home (till I  rec'd one of the first K3Ss). On at least 2 events in past
year it has exhibited little output power. Batteries were checked, cables
checked and replaced, to no avail. Display did not show SWR when TUNE button
pressed (only "--"). Another K3 was swapped in and everything was fine. 
I took radio home and it worked perfectly. 

This year at FD, it quit at around midnight. Even tried <12 W to verify LPA.
Result little or almost no power. Checked LPA screws but they were tight.
Voltage on radio was just above 12v on TX. Took it home and it shows no sign
of low power. It has worked well all week. 

Reloaded FW from Elecraft and reloaded last CONFIG file (May 2017 just
before first event of year and did TX cal at this time). 

Now hooked to dummy load and running stress test with FD CW msg on repeat. 

Anyone have ideas?

Re: [Elecraft] KX2 with KXPA100

[Bill Johnson]

Phil,  There is a different cable from the KX2 to the KXPA100.  It is an 
accessory as I recall.  The difference between the KX2 and KX3 and KXPA100 are 
different cables.  Other than that, the KXPA100 interface to KPA500 are the 
same for both radios.  How do I know this... I have done so myself.  I have 
used both the KX2 and KX3 rigs as backup.  The KX2 is now relegated to portable.

73,

Subject: [Elecraft] KX2 with KXPA100

I plan to acquire the KXPA100 to use with my KX2 while at the home station.  
Usually, I use my KX2 QRP in the field but I thought a 100-watt boost would be 
nice sometimes.  It is backup to my full K-Line.

Since I also have a second KAT500, I plan to NOT buy the internal antenna tuner 
with the KXPA100 (at this time).

The Fred Cady document describing the KPA500 and KAT500 describes an interface 
scenario of the KX3 with the KXPA100 —> KPA500 —> KAT500.  This configuration 
shows the need for a key line connection between KAT500 PTT relay and the 
KXPA100 (in addition to KPA500 which I will not be using).  Also, a keying 
cable between a KX3 to KXPA100 adapter and the KAT500 (which are part of the 
KXPA100 cable configuration kits that I will also be acquiring).

Is there anything other than described above that I need to know to support the 
KX2—>KXPA100—>KAT500 configuration?

[Elecraft] Old Style Sub Receiver Wanted

[Christopher Soames]

Hi looking to fit the old type of Sub Receiver in my K3, however 
Elekraft don't have any they only have the new ones left.
Does anyone have an old style K3 sub receiver and synth card for sale? 
If so please drop me a line.

The fitting instructions would be good also.

I do not have the folding stuff for a complete upgrade including Synth 
cards at this time so need to upgrade in stages.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Inverter type generators used for FD?

[Edward R Cole]

Two comments:
1.  Our local ham club which consists of mainly HF CW guys, got two 
of the 2000i Honda units along with the slave kit to use when more 
than one would suffice.  The club equipped a 28 foot trailer as a 
mobile response communications unit with up to four operating 
positions and it is used with two yagis during FD.  One is 4-element 
20m mounted on a folding tower installed on a flat-bed trailer.  They 
can set up and be running in 30-minutes.  The Honda's do not seem to 
cause any electrical hash and usually set about 50 feet+ from the 
comms trailer.
2.  At home I run a 6500w Honda inverter which will run my whole 
household including my 8877 kilowatt HVPS or kilowatt 6m sspa.  It is 
permanently installed in a doghouse about twelve feet from the mains 
meter using a transfer switch.  I've noted no noise issues (RFI or 
audible).  Its super-quiet in slow-run mode and handles loads in the 
house including the well pump, furnace, and kitchen appliances.  It 
was not cheap, but we are often the only one with lights around the 
lake when the power goes off (which is frequent enough here in AK).

Re: [Elecraft] Engraved Elecraft bezels (off topic)

[Ken Kaplan]

Hi all
I was asked if the bezels will continue to be engraved (or pad-printed 
in case of the K3s).

So far, the answer is no, unless someone else wants to pick it up.
I was planning to take the computer engraver with me, but it looks like 
it may be sold.

If anything changes, of course I will let the list know!

[Elecraft] Engraved Elecraft bezels (off topic)

[Ken Kaplan]

Fellow hams:
I'd like to thank all of you who used my services to engrave bezels for 
your Elecraft products. It is finally time for me to retire, after 
working in my dad's 70 year (1947-2017) old business since I was 12. 
Since I was licensed in 1962, it was great to have some bucks for radio 
equipment.
My wife and I will be (most likely) move to The Villages (FL). If any of 
you on the list live there, I would love to hear from you (off list at 
wb2...@arrl.net).

Hope all of you have a good 4th, and see you on the bands.
73
