Re: [Elecraft] 2m Transverter Worth it?
Wanted to add that I am referring to the Elecraft internal unit (K144XV). Thanks. > On 19 Aug 2020, at 6:56 AM, Edward wrote: > > Finding it hard to justify one of these for my K3.

[Elecraft] 2m Transverter Worth it?
Finding it hard to justify one of these for my K3. Any reason to get one before I say no, especially given that I have dedicated VHF gear?

[Elecraft] KPA500
New update. The 12w drive limitation is now affecting the amp. Tuner is not inline. The radio and amp are only connected with a cable between the key (K3) and the PA (KPA500).Amp was fine yesterday and figured tuner was the issue. Not the case now. Can't key amp if over 12w. __ 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
[Elecraft] KPA-500 Fault - follow up
All, I tried to firmly seat all of the connectors. No change. I finally pulled them out and only used the keying cable (RCA to RCA). No change. One thing I noticed is that the KAT 500 was giving me Power and SWR reading, but no amplification from the amplifier. And if I had any more than 12w of drive power from the K3, the amp would not give me any reading at all. Dropping it back to under 12w, the Pwr/SWR readings would be visible again. I decided to disconnect the antenna from the KAT 500 altogether and connected straight into the amp. Low and behold, I now have the amp working again! Hence, the problem is with the KAT500 tuner. I am thinking that a factory reset would do the trick. Question is, how do you reset a KAT 500 to factory default? The manual states to do it with a computer. Any buttons I can push on the tuner itself for restoring the factory defaults?

[Elecraft] KPA-500 Issues
I have the combo K3S/KAT500/KPA500 with all of the optional interconnection cables. I am not able to key the amp though it was working earlier. The asterisk does not appear in the display. I went through the menu and everything is set accordingly. The inhibit is disabled. Any help would be appreciated. 73, Ed NI6S __ 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

I plugged in an Icom mic. Once I pulled it out, the audio came to life. Hahaha? > On 13 May 2020, at 9:20 PM, Nr4c wrote: > > No, no. You can’t get away that easy.
