[Elecraft] High SWR into Dummy load
Hi, I just finished putting together my 2nd K3, downloading all the firmware, etc., and find that while everything seems to work fine, my SWR is astronomical -- like 15 to 1 after the antenna tuner has looked for a good match, and that's into a 50 ohm Elecraft dummy load. This is a K3-10, with KAT3, KDVR3, KXV3A, KIO3, KUSB. Before I tear it apart again, I'm just wondering if there's something obvious that I'm overlooking.

[Elecraft] Line Audio Output Mod
I'm really confused. I have a KIO3A, Rev A, C 2007. According to the Mod instructions this board should need the resistance modification. BEFORE I began the mod, the resistance across R19 and R20 was about 51 ohms each. So how can I put a 51 ohm resistor in parallel with R19 and 20 and end up with a new resistance of between 45 and 49 ohms? Thinking there might be a flaw in my thinking somewhere, I added a leaded resistor across R20 and sure enough, the resistance was now about 26 ohms, so I took it out. What gives? Instructions wrong? Am I missing something?

[Elecraft] IF output buffer gain Mod
So I see how to attach it but have no idea what a via is? I built a KX 1 without ever running into a via I think. And if you can see the via used to anchor one lead of the resistor in the photograph that is in the instructions you have either better eyes or a better imagination than I do. Apparently the via is the little plastic thing in the envelope with the resistor, but what is it for? And for that matter, what is the purpose of this modification? 10db more signal level at the IF output gets me what exactly? I could use a little more gain in my Heil BM-10 headphones, but is this going to get that for me without distortion? 1,000 pardons if this has already been beaten to death on the reflector. 73, Dave __ 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

[Elecraft] K3 and N1MM help please
I can't get my K3 to respond to the N1MM F keys. The F keys are all programmed and when I press one, the red TX light on the K3 lights up, the receiver mutes, but there's no transmit signal on CW -- I haven't tried SSB yet. The frequency on the K3 tracks fine in N1MM. The K3 is NOT in test mode, the CW icon is on, VOX is on, QSK is on. My N1MM settings are: Com 1, K3, no checks, 4,800, N, 8, 1, DTR Always On, RTS Always Off. Incidentally, N1MM suggests for a K3 that both DTR and RTS be on, but it didn't make any difference -- same result both ways. Com 3 is not checked under radio, but is checked for CW, DTR=CW, RTS=Always Off, Tx=1. No other Com ports have checks of any kind. Incidentally, while my reading of the N1MM instructions would make you think you need a check for Telnet, that is not the case. Telnet works fine without a check. Packet may not but I didn't check. My K3 PTT-KEY setting is rts - OFF. I've tried about every PTT--KEY setting there is and none of them work. I must say that the Config menu setting in the K3 Owner's Manual (the latest, online) is really inadequate in my opinion. Two of my computer savvy friends worked on this problem with me and neither has come up with a solution. Hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel. 73, Dave __ 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
