[Elecraft] Firmware update problem
I had not updated the firmware on my K3 in a while, so I went to the Elecraft site, downloaded the new K3 utility, found the new firmware, and proceeded to download it to the K3. I have suddenly lost the 100 w amp in the K3, and I can no longer link the two vfo's. I'm not sure what else is screwed up. Can anyone help? 73, Dick WO1I K3 911. P.S.

Re: [Elecraft] Receive drops about 6 s-units
Many thanks. Yup, it was the amplifier relay. I'll try Deox-it and hope for the best. The relay on the Ameritron AL-800 is not all that accessible, but I think the contacts can be reached.

Amplifier relays, bandpass filter relays, antenna selector relays are all suspects. It also could be a poorly soldered contact in the antenna, or an oxidized PL-259 center pin. When you transmit, it burns through the oxidation, which lasts only for a while. A treatment with Deox-it or a relay burnishing tool on the offending contact is the cure.

Re: [Elecraft] P3SVGA - Coming soon
As a compromise, you might look at some of the larger Tamrac Ultra Pro bags that hold a huge amount of camera gear plus a laptop computer. To my surprise, this is always accepted as my personal effects bag. I can then pack quite a lot of radio gear in my carryon roller board. 73, Dick F/WO1I At 09:45 PM 12/20/2011, Rick Bates wrote: >Specifically to making it 'carry on' transportable.

Re: [Elecraft] svga big size!
Will one need a dedicated monitor or can it be shared with a pc?

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 update
Actually, it seems to me that an antenna tuner is needed because SWR is high, and if SWR is high, there are extra losses in the feedline. The lowest cost low loss feeder is open line, and a balanced input to the tuner would be useful. Dick, WO1I At 10:48 PM 12/8/2011, Arie Kleingeld PA3A wrote: >Thanks, > >This is exactly what I need!

Re: [Elecraft] AGC Problem
I've been having the same problem since getting the P3 and I also use HRD. I'll try LP-Bridge, but there really ought to be a better solution. 73, Dick WO1I At 07:38 AM 6/19/2011, Stephen Prior wrote: >Since I stopped using HRD and turned Mac only, I have never once had the AGC >turning off problem repeat itself (I am using a P3 too). > >Therefore I am 100% sure that it is (what others have called 'aggressive') >polling from HRD. > >It might be worth installing LP Bridge, because even though you may have no >need to share a serial connection, it features buffering of the HRD data. >That way you could keep using HRD. > >73 Stephen G4SJP > > >On 19 June 2011 09:48, Jens Petersen wrote: > > > On Wed, 6 Apr 2011 13:38:08 -0500, you wrote: > > > > >Going back through some notes here seems to indicate that once > > >I downed HRD while meeting the one and only SSB group I enjoy cured > > >the problem.
