[Elecraft] K3 - PA Temperature Sensor problem
I installed the KPA3 amp module and I've tried to calibrate the PA Temp. sensor, but cannot get the setting to go below 87 degrees C turning the VFO A dial. Although the dial continues to turn, the temp. setting will not go lower than 87. (FWIW Highest it will go is 127 - not sure if that's relevant.) I've checked and confirmed the following: 1. Tech MD is set to on 2. KPA3 is set to PA nor 3. I did not have the rig on all day and the temp. of the room is about 24 degrees C. As soon as I turned the rig on, I immediately went to the PA Temp setting on the Config menu. FP Temp is reading correctly at 25. The fans come on as soon as the rig is turned on. Any ideas?

Hi Norm. It took me a while to find this as well. Page 51, Owner's Manual: Main Menu: MIC SEL: tap the number 2 on the keypad to toggle Bias.

Re: [!! SPAM] Re: [Elecraft] K3 - s/n 1591 - TCXO module question
Thank you, Luc. I trimmed the leads and the radio is working fine so far. You've had the same results without trimming the leads, so it would appear that it isn't critical. 73 Ann VA3NOE Luc Favre wrote: Hello, I had the same problem and solved it without trimming the leads. The module dont't rest against the socket but sits above it. No trouble till now... just a week ! Is there a builder alert on this subject ? 73 Luc/F6HJO - Original Message - From: Ann and/or Bill Tekatch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 3:53 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - s/n 1591 - TCXO module question Hello everyone. Things are going really well with the build of s/n 1591 (I had the power on tonight for the initial power-up test - so exciting!!!) but tonight when I went to put the TCXO module on the KREF board, I discovered that the leads on the module are too long to allow its bottom to rest against the socket as described on p.46 of the assembly manual. Is this a problem? Do I need to trim the leads? FYI the leads are 1/4 long and a gap of 1/16 is left between the bottom of the TCXO module and its socket when it is fully engaged. BTW for those of you keeping track of delivery times: K3 kit ordered May 9 Katiegram August 27 Delivery on Sept. 5 I really appreciated receiving this info. when I was awaiting my K3 - my thanks to everyone who shared this info. on the reflector!
