Re: [Elecraft] KX-3 TX current draw?

[Victor Rosenthal]

I think 1.6:1 is high for that kind of dummy load, if it's in good shape. 
Should be close to 1:1.
Anyway, you can't really say there is a problem unless you have a better match. 
Current draw is sensitive to mismatch.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 and noise

[Dave]

Mine had noise on 80 meters. Elecraft sent me a load resistor to install in the 
power supply across the 50 VDC terminals. Knocked the birdies down to the noise 
floor. I also foo d there is a connection from the minus terminal to the 
chassis that was loose. 

Serial number 423 and it has been working fine since.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 and noise

[Peter Hall]

I don't recall the details but have you read the posts by the Elecraft guys 
some weeks ago related to excess noise and loose grounding nuts (on or near the 
SO239 connectors if I recall correctly)?

My KPA1500 creates a tiny amount of additional noise on 6 m when switched to 
"operate" but nothing discernible elsewhere.

73, Peter.

Hi Ronnie

I do not have a KPA1500 (only a KPA500) but I recall seeing posts from time
to time about noise emanating from KPA1500's.

I think you will need to check in with Elecraft on the issue.

Re: [Elecraft] KX-3 TX current draw?

[Mooneer Salem]

Hi Drew,

I got 2.36A current consumption @ 5W using a dummy load and the TX button
on 50.100MHz USB with my KX3 (S/N 3262). The voltage dropped from 13.74V to
13.67V during transmit. (Measured using an in-line Powerpole meter attached
between a 54Ah LiFePO4 battery and the KX3.) Hopefully this helps!

BTW, I had to recently redo TX calibration because I ended up doing a
factory reset while trying to re-run temperature compensation (long story),
so I'm not sure if this is any more or less indicative of "normal" power
consumption.

Thanks,

-Mooneer K6AQ

Re: [Elecraft] KX-3 TX current draw?

[Walter Underwood]

What voltage? What frequency?

It will pull more current at lower voltages. The power stages are less 
efficient at higher frequencies, especially 12m and up.

[Elecraft] KX-3 TX current draw?

What do you see for current draw on the KX-3?  Manual says 1 to 2 A typical.

I'm seeing 3 A at less than full power on one band.  Yikes!  Makes me
wonder if the repair shop is open?  Elecraft website says hunkered

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

[Rick Tavan]

But when KPA500 Remote or KPA1500 Remote start up, you need to invoke the
Start Hosting Remote function to get them to listen for a remote
connection. It may be possible to automate that, but I don't know how. And
if you could automate it, note that these Remote apps power up the
amplifier as they start up, leaving it running. That's OK if you just
rebooted the server yourself. But if it's auto-booting, for example after
recovery from a power failure, it could leave the amp running for days
before you next sit down at your control site to operate. Maybe you don't
care, but I prefer to leave unattended amps powered down when not in use.
Or am I missing something?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 current draw

[Keith Trinity WE6R]

Hi David;
You can tap DISP and rotate VFO B knob to see the current. Then set "tun 
pwr" to nor, select desired power out, and long press XMIT to send a 
carrier and see the current.

(do not TX at exactly 5 or 50w as that will cause a TX gain calibration).
That will give you a close reading.
The RX current depends a lot on if you have a sub receiver or 2m module 
but you can watch RX current and change options to see the changes.
If you design a system for 2Amps on RX and 25a on TX, that would give 
you plenty of overhead.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Remote Software will not pin to STARTUP list

[Lyn Norstad]

Frank –

 

Glad that helped.  It’s a useful tool for any apps you always want so you gate 
get them started quickly without waiting around while the system goes thru its 
boot gyrations.

 

I remember having to write batch files in early versions of Windows (and DOS …) 
to do the same thing.  This is much easier to implement and to change when the 
need arises.

PS – We’ve worked a few times on 160m FT8.  Lots of interesting stuff on your 
QRZ page!

Many thanks for your help.   That worked perfectly!  KAP remote just started 
when I rebooted using access via ANYDESK

I appreciate you taking the time to clarify for me.  At first I couldn't find 
the STARUP folder as it was hidden in AppData which I could not

see .  Discovered how to make it visible and went from there.  Thanks again!

How To Start a Windows 7 Program Automatically (quoted from "dummies")

After a failed attempt to operate my remote KPA500 using a STARTECH serial
server I have reverted back to a PC at the site.  To streamline operations I
want the KPA remote software to start up when the PC is remotely booted. 
Right clicking and selecting Pin to Start does not work.  It does not appear
in the list of STARTUP programs.  KAT500 works Ok in STARTUP but not the
KPA500.

Does anyone know why?...or is there something else I need to do.  The PC

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[rich hurd WC3T]

Adding to the small but growing chorus of over-ear 'cans.'I have an
MDR-V6 and a 7506 -- and want for nothing.  On ear is damned uncomfortable
and I shudder when i think of putting something in my ears.   My son with
his ear buds - he can keep 'em.   I can wear the V6 all day with no
discomfort.

Postscript:  i just ordered velour cushions for the two Sony cans.   Can't
wait.  That will be Nirvana.

Re: [Elecraft] Headphones

[kd4iz]

Clay,

Have to agree about OTE headphones. I am hearing impaired and have not found a 
"truly compatible" over the hearing aid solution. The best one for me so far is 
the Sennheiser S1 avionic headset (no longer available). I happened to have one 
from my flying days. It has the best TX and RX noise cancelling function I have 
found. It is a shame that Sennheiser did not continue them. I have not played 
with the Bose or LightSpeed sets since my early experience with both being too 
tight.

I have used the Sennheiser PXC 550 II set with the Kenwood D74A BT feature and 
gotten good voice reports. They are also OTE and good for those of us with 
larger hat sizes, but did not work acceptably without taking off the hearing 
aids. They do work without a lot of BT lag so might be acceptable for CW.  

I never used either with my KX3.

On-ear, for me is the worst of all worlds.  I use my in-ear wireless BLE stereo
