Restore the CONFIG copy you made before you updated FW. You did do a CONFIG 
backup didn’t you?

Re: [Elecraft] My KX2 may be sick

[Paul Smith]

Thanks Dave, I have the KXPD2 paddle but do not use it much as I am a straight 
key guy or bug.

Thanks

Paul,

Check your KXPD3 keyer paddle.  It turns out that early versions had screw 
heads that were a bit too long that stuck out the back side of the paddle 
housing, causing a short to the chassis, if the heads bit through the black 
paint.

I have one of these, and it worked fine until the screw head on one side 
managed to work itself through the paint, then suddenly I was getting ERR KEY 
on power up.  Elecraft service has shorter screws to fix the issue.  I just put 
a small patch of black tape on the bare metal chip location under the paddle 
housing, and all is OK.  Some day I may ask for the modified screws (or paddle, 
if it has to be replaced as a unit).  Fixing the chip in the black housing is 
another matter entirely.  Shame it happened on a practically brand new radio.

73, hope that helps,

-- Dave, N8SBE

Thanks guys for the words on my KX2. I was watching the volt meter I have on 
the power supply. It dropped to 13V when I keyed the rig then shot up to 13.9 
and sat rock solid. I changed power supplys and all is well now. The little 
radio seems to be happy again. And Thanks Don for the advice on NOT sending the 
rig in. I will check my cables as well, tnx all de N0NBD Paul Smith

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Alignment and Test, Part II issues

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

First check the DC voltage at RF Board U6 pin 5 - it should be 4 volts 
(or 1/2 the 8 volt regulator output voltage).  If it is not correct, you 
have a problem with the thermistor board - most likely a solder bridge.


You should have 8 volts at the thermistor board pin 8.  If that is not 
correct, look carefully for solder bridges.  That 8 volts comes directly 
from the 8 volt regulator voltage rail.


It does sound like you have a problem with the PLL Reference Oscillator, 
but your voltage measurements on the thermistor board pins should be 
investigated first before drawing any other conclusions.


Make sure you have good results with the PLL range tests just after that.

The exact frequency of the 4 MHz Oscillator is not critical at this 
point - for now it only substantiates that the oscillator is working. 
If you put a probe on C22, it will pull the frequency.  If your 
frequency counter is sufficiently accurate, wait until you have a good 
frequency at TP1, and then measure the frequency with both the counter 
and the internal counter probe using CAL FCTR.  Adjust C22 so CAL FCTR 
frequency is the same as your external counter.


I do not know the accuracy of your counter, but mine is accurate to 10 
exp-9 and I can set C22 with it for good K2 Dial Calibration.  There are 
other methods for setting C22 that do not depend on the accuracy of your 
frequency counter.  When you can receive WWV at 10 or better 15 MHz, 
look at my website www.w3fpr.com article on K2 Dial Calibration to 
accurately set C22 and achieve good K2 dial calibration.


73,
Don W3FPR

day, but not these days. He took the package to a pickup spot, a UPS store
about 5 miles from my house, and I had to pick it up the next day, in

The sheer laziness of this event stunned me. He just didn't seem to want to
carry the box to the door in the rain, and was willing to inconvenience the
recipient of an expensive package just to avoid a couple minutes' work. I
don't have this trouble with FedEx, though I sometimes have problems with
Amazon drivers who claim not only that they delivered my package, but put
it directly into my hands, when I didn't even receive it until 2 days
later. They simply lie to avoid doing their jobs. It's the only thing I can
think of to explain it.

It doesn't do any good to complain. I raised the roof at UPS, and it had
zero effect. The woman on the phone told me she'd have the package brought

disabled butt to their store to pick it up. Very frustrating!

Subject: [Elecraft] Shipping high value items by UPS

The thread started by the gentleman who thought his KX2 might be dead

and

needed to go to Elecraft motivated me to make this comment about

shipping.

I shipped my K3 back to Elecraft earlier this year via UPS and $2,500
insurance.  I use a local hardware store in my town that has UPS service

at the

normal rates.  They said they use a company that contracts with UPS for
shipping.  The company that provides the UPS service to the hardware

store

requires inspection of high value packages, reportedly due to some fraud

cases

in the past.  Because they know me well they took my word that I double

boxed it

and packed it well, I didn't have to unpack it.  I had shipped many

things with

them in the past with no problems.

For the return address, I use my local post office where I have a PO

box.  It's

a little known fact that the USPS will accept packages for PO box

holders from

any private carrier, UPS, FedEx, etc.  They will also sign for some

packages

requiring signature if you have a signature on file.  This solves my

problem of

packages left on my doorstep for people to potentially steal.  This also

solves

the problem of people/businesses that will not ship to a PO box.

This is how I address packages to be mailed to me.

[Elecraft] K3 problem after latest sw update

[pa0kv]

Hi!

Yesterday I updated my K3's sw. After some shutdown and startups it came 
up as normal.


But there is no reception. I get noise from my antenna. Unplug the 
antenna, no noise.
Send a signal in the air on the tuned frequency ... nothing. No S-meter, 
no biep.


What went wrong? I did reinstall all updates. No result.

Re: [Elecraft] Shipping high value items by UPS

[Dan Mouer]

Just my opinion, but I can't get USPS to reliably deliver my mail on a
regular basis. No way am I trusting them with a high value package.
I hate and dread it when I order something and it starts out UPS or FedEx
and ends up "smart posting" through USPS the last mile.

The few times I've tried to file a complaint (via phone or face to face)
all I got was a run around and a carrier lying to my face.

YMMV.

Re: [Elecraft] Shipping high value items by UPS

[Barry]

One semi-related warning:
Avoid DHL.

I ordered a piece of furniture from Italy, which included a glass-top table. 
It arrived in a wooden crate, which looked perfect from the outside, but the
glass was totally shattered inside.  They mist have dropped it on its edge
from a good height, or dropped something heavy on top of it.

Currently going through the insurance claim process, and the number of
repetitive phone calls and emails has been mind-boggling.  A very poorly
managed company.
