[Elecraft] K2 PLL problem on upgrade
Ugh, I have my K2 upgrade changes made, but the PLL is not cooperating. This is after all the A to B changes, including specifically the PLL temperature compensation upgrade, which includes the new crystal X1 and the thermistor board replacing the resistor pack. The counter works fine, tested on the BFO. The reading on TP3 is around 125, jumping up and down, not anything like 12085. When I tap BAND+ and BAND- the reading goes up and down as expected. I have checked carefully for short circuits. What should I look at next? Thanks.

[Elecraft] K2 KPA100 overheating/erratic fan problem
Hello, I wonder if anybody had similar problem. When I “run” I get fan starting running after 10-15 minutes. However after another few minutes of running the fan will shuts down every time I press a key ( I am CW op). As a result the temperature of the PA goes higher and higher and at certain point the PA shuts down. If I check the temperature reading through temperature calibration in the menu I see that temperature reading jumping force and back with range of readings 10 - 20C. That kind of erratic temp reading continues even when temperature of the heatsink goes down. If let the trcv to cool (overnight) the temperature readings are stable with range of reading +- 1C. I check soldering and mounting - if there were problem they were fixed. But no results so far. I also upgraded the PA a week ago and that did not have effect on the overheating. Any input will be appreciated. 73, Arkady __ 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] KX3 turns itself off randomly.
Ok on that, I did check that in menu, re 'AUTO OFF', and it is and was set to 'infinite'. There is also an 'ALARM' parameter with beeps, that turns the KX3 on, not off. The beeps heard before off was intriguing. I didn't see any screen warnings at the Bezel. Thankyou On 1/12/20 12:58 am, David Haines wrote: I had that same problem.

It may turn off after 1/2 hour, and subsequently 2 hours or not at all, but seems to happen not long after first powerup. There is also a KXPA100 connected on the same power supply.
