[Elecraft] Day 7 trying to get a RSA

2021-05-21 Thread Ronnie Hull
Still no call backs from technical support
Still no answers from supp...@elecraft.net

The Women who answer the phone won’t give me an RSA

All the heck I want is an RSA to send my KPA-1500 in for repair

Why does this have to be so hard?

Re: [Elecraft] Funny K4 Story

2021-05-21 Thread Tom Azlin W7SUA
I have an external meter on each of my antenna feedlines so I know the 
actual SWR for each antenna. Also see a difference in the reported power 
out on my (still) K3 versus the power reported on the external SWR/PWR 
meter which is to be expected given the line impeadance for my antennas 
is not 50 Ohms resistive. Will likely pick up a vector power/SWR meter 
to get a better view of my antennas.

I believe the SWR meter in the transceiver is at the input of the 
internal tuner, not the output.  Since it always reads close to 1:1 when 
the tuner is engaged you may not notice if the antenna has a high SWR.

The K4 shows all four TX bar graphs simultaneously:  power, SWR, ALC, 
and compression. In addition you can select numeric display of power, 
SWR, supply voltage and current drain for the status area, which 
defaults to date/time.

My K3 has a SWR display next to the RF Power meter in the Display.
So it Sounds like the K4 Does Not have that type of Display ?

I normally would have noticed the change in SWR, and realized that I 
had an antenna problem. But, of course, I had tuned the K4 for the 
first time on 80M when I received it!


A learning moment (operator error?). Gonna try to check the antennas 
out a bit more frequently!

[Elecraft] New PC not finding the KPA 1500 on its USB port

2021-05-21 Thread Howard Sherer
I just purchased a new Dell laptop to be installed at my remote KPA 1500.
When I plug the USB cable from the KPA into the PC it sees the port but
will not communicate with it as the driver for the FT232R UART shows as not
compatible and the driver is not installed. I did a system search for any
driver and windows update does not find one.

Any suggestions on how to get this to communicate? I have tried 3 different
USB cables and no difference. The device managed in Windows just gives me
the same no compatible driver.
