Re: [Elecraft] Intermittent KPA-1500 SWR problem
Pete I had not read about your KPA1500 issue until now. I can relate with the same problem. Very frustrating but maybe now a solution. Thanks for the follow up! I’ll let you know the results of the download. 73 Dan - NB2P “Sometimes the correct path is the most tortured one” On Thursday, April 18, 2024, 11:16 AM, Pete Smith N4ZR wrote: Readers may recall that I had been asking for help with an intermittent problem causing my KPA-1500 to trip due to high SWR. It would happen 3-4 times in 10 minutes and then not happen again for hours. A couple of weeks ago, a local KPA-1500 owner suggested that the problem was due to a timing error in the T/R switching of the 1500, and suggested I address this by reverting to version 2.58 firmware instead of the latest release. I did so, and since then I have had not a single recurrence. If this is a known issue, I wonder why it hasn't been fixed in the later releases? -- 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 dcari...@yahoo.com __ 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] my KPA1500 and 160M
Be sure the K3 tuner is off when using the KPA1500’s tuner.

Upon testing, the K3 internal atu does great, matches at 1.3:1. But when I throw the KAP1500 in line, it gets all pissed off, throws up and faults out. Says SWR is 99:1 !!! The Antenna: The Apex is at 50'. It is in a inverted Vee config, with both ends approx 20' off the ground. I'm using 59' of the 600 ohm true ladder line to a Balun Designs 5KW 4:1 Balun. This is fed with 22' of Wilson LMR400 Both the K3 internal atu, AND the KPA1500 internal atu get a great match on 80M, 1.2:1 with no issues. Honestly, most of the work on 160M is FT8 running 20 watts or less, so just using the K3 to get a successful match on 160M is fine I just wonder why the KAP1500 doesn't like the same antenna the K3 likes. Any ideas here fellers? thanks and 73 73 and GL OM DE w5sum __ 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 dcari...@yahoo.com __ 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
