[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement
Good Evening, Another snowy week left the road looking like a bobsled run. In 4WD it was fun negotiating the turns. A recent clear cut has exposed a steep cliff. Two corners have an excellent view, I'm sure a passenger would enjoy it. The sun is well spotted and stable for now. Flux is high so I expect some noise. The snow has brought down a lot of limbs though the antennas are in good shape. I did have to untangle one limb from the guy rope but it missed me. Remember Daylight Savings Time begins overnight. Both nets remain at the same local time. I work them in between chores and cooking so timing is important. 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.

[Elecraft] Help - K-3 TMP cables
Thanks, everyone who responded so quickly. I'm sure I'll be able to resolve the problem in the morning . Didn't see the KSYN3A instructions when I looked on the website -- 73, Pete N4ZR __ 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] Help - K-3 TMP cables
Pete, Here is the link for the KSYN3A synthesizer installation instructions. See Figure 13 on page 17 for the cable routing for a dual receive K3. https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3S/Manuals%20Downloads/E740257%20KSYN3A%20Installation%20Rev%20A6.pdf 73, Bill - NA5DX On 3/11/2023 4:13 PM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: I'm in a bit of a mess. I took my K-3 (S/N 4275) with the sub-RX apart in order to replace Q3, the MOSFET that switches the Key Out jack, which is buried under the sub-RX and the I/O subassemblies. In the process, I managed to pop loose the cable that goes from VCO Out (J84 of the *main* synthesizer board), connecting presumably to somewhere on the big main RX board. But I can't, for the life of me, find an empty TMP jack anywhere on the RF board. Judging by the length and curvature of the orphan cable, it should go somewhere on the left side of the main board, toward the left \, but there's nothing there. The problem is that the updated KSYN3A synthesizers in my K3 were installed at the factory, so I don't have the usual documentation and the units look very different from the originals (my assembly manual only covers the original synthesizers, and also looks much different in the section dealing with the cabling of the synthesizers) Can anyone tell me where that cable is supposed to go? __ 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
