[Elecraft] KPA1500 power aupply fan
Mine works exactly as Eric says it should. I have not uploaded any new F/W, still using the original issue. Anything change for the PS in a newer version? Just a thought . . . . Ted, KN1CBR -- Message: 13 Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2018 14:43:58 -0700 From: "Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft" To: Rick Stealey ,"Elecraft@mailman.qth.net" Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 power aupply fan Message-ID: <7affdd68-d9cc-05ed-5ac2-dc22f3406...@elecraft.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Rick and everyone - There should be NO fans running in the power supply after turning off the RF deck from its front panel. Are you sure the RF deck front panel is OFF? (No lights on the RF deck FP) The PS fan runs from the same supply that supplies the 50 V to the amp. That supply is definitely turned off when the RF deck front panel is off, which also kills the PS fans. The fans have absolutely nothing to do with the 12 VDC supply going to the RF deck. In any case, no not modify how voltage is supplied to the RF deck, as this will not fix anything and will definitely void the Warranty. If you are not able to resolve this issue contact our team at supp...@elecraft.com or via the phone and we'll help you figure out what is happening. My only thought is that there could be a short in the control cable between the amp RF deck and PS that is keeping the 50V supply and fans on in the PS. (Or on one of the connectors in the RF deck or PS.) Our support team will help you debug whatever is happening if its a hw issue.. 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] CODEC
We've turned into a society of blame "someone or something" else. We need to more frequently look in the mirror. Otherwise, when pointing the finger of blame, look down, there's 3 pointing at the most likely source.

Bob has clearly identified one of the classics. My favorite came from a tech support person working with an old batch mode computer. The dialog goes: "I didn't change anything."

You had your computer set up to update the clock EVERY SECOND! WOW!!! I have mine set up to sync the clock every 5 hours and worried I had borderline CDO behavior. For the uninformed please note that CDO is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with the acronym arranged in correct alphabetical order which simply must be done if one is to be obsessively compulsive IMHO. 73, Joe, W8JH - 73, Joe, W8JH K3 1713, KPA 132, KX3 7498 -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ 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

My last word: I bought into the XFinity "X1" program and connected their super-modem and tried to make it work with my LAN. I detected security holes in their "instant hotspot" provision that would violate my company's insistence of tight firewalls and hard-wire Ethernet for any off-premises system carrying company information no matter how small. The upshot is that I returned their modem, bought my own Arris (Motorola) modem meeting their compatibility specs, and continued to use my existing Netgear VPN router. It paid for itself wirhin a year.

Re: [Elecraft] K-Pod CTS to match VFO
If Elecraft chooses to make this available, **please** make it optional.
