Re: [Elecraft] Unable to save a Configuration on a KX3

2020-01-07 Thread Mike Duvall 
I had the exact same problem when I updated a few days ago. I am running
Ubuntu 18.04 if that matters. My KX3 SW was several years old so maybe the
install forced a factory reset to do the update. I did not select factory
reset.The radio appears to be working but I have not tried to Transmit since
the update.  I will ask for a replacement config file and see if that fixes
the config save issue. Thanks for the quick post of the fix.

Re: [Elecraft] 30 Day Price increase Alert

2020-01-07 Thread Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft 

Clarification on my prior posting:

The price increase note below does not directly apply to pre-orders for the K4. 
We're finalizing pricing now as we get a better feel for parts pricing, tarriffs 
on parts, local assembly cost here etc.  We hope to keep it reasonably close to 
the deposit amounts.


One other item: its a 28 day notice, not 30.  ;-)

[Elecraft] K3 Utility Testers needed

2020-01-07 Thread Dick Dievendorff 
We're about ready to release an update to the Windows version of the K3
Utility.  While there are no sweeping changes, there are a lot of little
changes, new compiler, help text, fixed-speed capability.

 

Can a few of you help me test it? 

 

Please reply directly to me.

Good Evening,

     I turned on the rig and found 20 meters filled with a roaring, 
windy sound.  Just a little QSB, on 40 meters it would be worse. The 
sun has thrown something at the earth.  Enough of it to cause 
impressive aurora.  One tiny sunspot can't be this strong; unless 
those of cycle 25 are special.  I say we need more of them so we can 
test this hypothesis.

     Weather reports were of a mild new year.  Even Oregon has had 
moments of sunshine.  If this keeps up I'll need to go hiking.  Or 
maybe it's time to work on antennas.  It is muddy enough.  If the 
rainy days continue I'll get some work done.  If not I'll be too busy 
working outside to get anything done :)



Until next week stay warm and stay well 73,

Have you tried to reload the firmware?   Sounds as though a bit or two

Ken,

I have the same amp but have not experienced the problem you describe.
When issues like this occur it is best to isolate the suspect device to
minimize the variables.

Before doing anything have you tried turning off the power switch on the
rear of the amp?  Wait 10 seconds then turn the switch to ON.  Press the
front panel power ON button and check the panel buttons.

If that doesn't correct the issue then disconnect every cable from the amp
except the power cord and antenna.  Connect the amp to a dummy load.  Turn
off the power switch on the rear of the amp.  Wait 10 seconds then turn the
switch to ON.  Press the front panel power ON button and check the

If that fails to correct the problem you probably need Elecraft support.

However now it's locked on STBY and won't budge plus all the other press

Other strange things are happening too, pressing tapping EDIT changes the

In 2019, I installed the USB kit into my K3, previous to this I've fully

When the K3 and Amp are both turned on the Amp senses the K3's current

Appreciate any info or suggestions chaps!
