[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, Friday morning started foggy and gray, then it slowly started raining. There was a break earlier today but there were no puddles. Everything soaked straight in. Fire danger dropped quickly. The smoke has cleared out of the air too. Hopefully some fires were slowed or extinguished. The sun was less active this week. There are fewer sunspots and the flux rate has dropped. The auroral oval shows moderate activity. Even though the sun seems quiet there are a lot of ions heading our way. Sunset is earlier but won't happen here until after the forty meter net has gone free. Long range hops may work OK. Please join us on (or near): 14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday) 7047 kHz at z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday) 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - So let us begin anew — remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. __ 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] K3 s/n 2324 ZERO Power Output after repair
Most of your responses posted on this list have no text. I am not a tech either and probably would have just shipped it right back but I am wondering if it transmitted prior to your repair? Did you check to see if it is in "test" mode? GL John KK9A n5xz wrote: I recently received my K3 s/n 2324 back from Elecraft after being repaired from lightning damage. The Damage was not extensive and Elecraft did some other repairs that preceded the lightning strike. However, when received I found that the KEY OUT FED Q3 was shorted (perhaps not tested by Elecraft at the factory?) so I decided to repair it myself rather than sending it back and waiting who knows how many weeks for a simple repair. Let me tell you, it was no simple task for a non-electronics tech who can't see very well any more. Of course Q3 was located on the motherboard and was buried under several other sandwiched boards and the sub-receiver.what a job (for me anyway). After putting everything back together, the KEY OUT now works but I get ZERO WATTS output. I have tried low and high power positions, CW and TUNE functions, but nothing A call to tech support, Rob suggested I check the TXIF cable connection, which I did. I checked all visible cables, everything is plugged in as required. I tried a transmitter calibration but for some reason I cannot communicate with the K3 using my RS232-USB cable, which is probably no good (Amazon) since I know the radio is communicating with other equipment just fine. Any ideas why I am now getting 0W output? I have tried everything I can think of but I am not a tech as I mentioned before. Thanks, Allen R.
