Re: [Elecraft] My appeal for help regarding my KXPA100 Failure to Turn on and Stay On
My thanks to the three fine Elecrafters who sent me suggestions to fix my KXPA100 amplifier. I tried their suggestions, but no joy. The problem I have? After months of fine operation in my garage “Summer Station” I moved my whole station inside where the air conditioning is. Out in the garage was just too darn hot! Well, I guess “something” changed when I reassembled my KX3 and my PX3 and the KXPA100, as the Amp slowly started putting out fewer and fewer Watts; finally, it “gave up the ghost” and declined to turn on again, after about a ten-second flashing of LEDs. So… Anyone with more suggestions to get it back to its original state of putting out up to and including 100 Watts? Or, Do I need to send it in for repairs? And, if that is the case, how do I proceed, please? 73, Carter Craigie, N3AO Blacksburg, VA -- Carter, N3AO Blacksburg, VA __ 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

Have you perused the Elecraft web site? At the top in the black band on the right there is a “hamburger” (3 horizontal lines.) If you click there and select “Support” you will see well thought out and well laid out procedures for asking for help from Elecraft and if the worst should happen, procedures to effect a return of your amp for repair. > On Aug 13, 2021, at 06:46, Carter Craigie wrote: > > My thanks to the three fine Elecrafters who sent me suggestions to fix my > KXPA100 amplifier.

Re: [Elecraft] Help Needed for KPA100 Amplifier
Carter: this may be a serial communications problem between the KX3 and KXPA100. Just as a diagnostic step, try turning the amp on with its power slide switch. It should stay on. To avoid needing to use that slide switch all the time, there is a serial command sent periodically from the KX3 to the amp telling it to switch on. That command must be repeatedly received to keep the amp on. If your serial cable is intermittent (not fully seated?) all the KX3 messages may not be arriving at the amp, and the amp turns itself off after a period of silence from the KX3. Another serial cable might also be helpful. Good luck! 73 de Dick, K6KR > On Aug 12, 2021, at 09:45, Carter Craigie wrote: > > My problems all started when I moved my Elecraft KX3, PX3, and the ASTRON > RS-35A PS from the garage upstairs to the second floor.

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Power Level
Aaron, I cannot give you a specific answer, but go by the heat. I would suggest you first try 5 watts, and operate at that level for a while (I suggest 10 minutes). Then check the heatsink temperature - if you can hold your fingers on it for longer than 5 minutes, then all is well. Increase the power by about 3 watts and try again. When the heat gets too much to comfortably hold your fingers on the heatsink (next to the PA transistors), then you have exceeded the maximum power which you should use for transmit. The generalized answer is that you should consider those modes as continuous duty and use 1/2 the normal full power output, but I suggest doing the test I referred to as a specific power limit for your particular K2. 73, Don W3FPR On 8/13/2021 3:38 PM, Aaron K5ATG wrote: What is the recommended highest power level for a QRP Elecraft K2 to operate on digital modes like FT8, JT65 etc, without blowing the PA's? __ 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

[Elecraft] KX3 ALC indicator issue
So I have been researching this most of the afternoon to no avail. I have a KX3 that when in Data A mode, does not indicate ALC on the ALC display. I am using WSJT-X to generate an audio signal from the PC. When I do so, I can see that the KX3 is putting out RF, and in fact I can make contacts on FT8 with no problem. But it does not seem to matter where I set the PC sound card volume, WSJT-X's audio level or the KX3’s mic gain, I do not ever see ALC bars. In fact, I can max them out and still not get ALC to show. And yet, I plug in an MH3 (and turn on bias), and I can get ALC indication with my voice just fine with mic gain at 30 to 40. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. 73, David - N5DCH __ 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 ALC indicator issue
When the input signal is too high no ALC is shown in data mode. Reduce the input to a minimum and gradually increase the KX3 gain and the ALC will appear. You would think that high input would show max ALC bars but that is not how it works. Same problem took me several hours to troubleshoot on my KX3.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 control software?
I use a variety of things depending on what I want to do. I often run Win4k3 connected to the radio, and then other software like N1MM, DxLab, etc. connected to the 'virtual radios' of Win4K3 via virtual serial port pairs. I have found this a reliable way to allow multiple programs to each 'think' they are directly controlling the K3, while they are all being kept in sync. In other words, changing frequency. mode, etc on the radio or in one of the connected programs causes it to change everywhere. Other times I just run N1MM or DxLab Commander connected directly to the K3. Or I'll connect N1MM to the K3, and then run WSJT-X from within N1MM, so it logs directly into N1MM. All depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you can articulate what your goals are, there are many here who can give you good advice on what to use to get there!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 ALC indicator issue
Bingo! That was it. I cranked the PC and app levels way down to like 30 percent, dropped the mic gain to zero, and then started slowly increasing the mic gain and then got ALC bars somewhere around the 15 to 20 level. I guess in all my playing around with this, I must never have had the combination of the three controls low enough at the same time. Thanks for putting me on to this! 73, David - N5DCH > On Aug 13, 2021, at 8:47 PM, AL7CR wrote: > > When the input signal is too high no ALC is shown in data mode.
