Re: [Elecraft] PX3 kit tips?

[Bill Frantz]

Remember to take it slow and easy. Read each instruction and 
make sure you understand it. Then do it, check it off on the 
assembly manual, and go to the next one.


It is generally a good idea to inventory the parts so you 
understand which screw goes where. The small parts can be 
organized in an egg carton or a ice cube tray.


Try to get into the zen of it.

I've got the assembly instructions, and an anti-static wrist strap, and the

Does anyone have any assembly tips besides what's in the manual?

Julie,

Just follow the instructions.  You will need a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
If you don't understand any procedure, ask here.

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 kit tips?

[AL7CR]

Nothing to it, you will be done in no time.  The right size screwdriver helps.  
Also try not to get fingerprints on the screen side of the lens.  Taking the 
lens off to clean them is a bit annoying.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[Jack Brindle via Elecraft]

This is not quite correct. It does not connect unused antenna ports to ground. 
It does have a GDT and 1 meg resistor to ground on each port, however.
When power is off to the KAT500, ANT1 is connected directly to the input port.

But you are correct in that it has three output antenna ports.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[Greg Mitchell]

You don't need to manually choose an antenna on startup. It remembers what
was last used on each band (assuming you are using an Elecraft or Kenwood
rig with it). I think it will still remember the last used even in a dumb
situation without knowledge from the radio; it just needs the radio support
to have "per-band" memory. I could be wrong. I know it remembers fine with
my K3.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

Interesting idea.
I have two antennas, so I could connect my ground to #1 and antennas to #2
and #3?
Just manually choose an antenna on start-up.   Hm-m-m-m-m.

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[Greg Mitchell]

It has 3 antenna connections, not 4. It grounds the unused ones and selects
antenna 1 on power-off. I put my dummy-load on antenna 1 so my station is
disconnected from the antennas when powered down.

[Elecraft] KAT500 - does it earth antenna connections

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Sorry if this is obvious, but I haven’t bought a KAT500 yet (to go with the 
KPA500 I managed to pick up from a fellow ham). I’m aware there are 4 
selectable antenna connectors. Does it ground or earth the ones not currently 
selected?

For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours 
supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work.
