Re: [Elecraft] Combiner for 2 or 3 KPA-500's
Google "Acom splitter" I do not endorse the product, nor the use of 6KW for amateur purposes, but it may meet your use case 73, Tom W2SC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Richard Thorne Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2013 9:27 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: [Elecraft] Combiner for 2 or 3 KPA-500's This may be a neat way to increase power over time. Start with one KPA-500 and work your way to 2 or 3. Not sure what the cost would be. I am really enjoying my KPA-500, a KPA-500x2 or KPA-500x3 would be really neat. What do you think Eric/Wayne?

[Elecraft] K3 Tune Button
When the TUNE button is engaged, are there settings that determine how the radio responds? On my radios, depressing the TUNE button will display the SWR. I would rather it displayed the frequency. I thought that K5ZD's K3 did exactly that when I used it at WRTC. Although somewhat impolite, I occasionally sweep the band in TUNE mode as an SWR check of the antennas. Not being able to see the frequency makes this less convenient. Similarly, if TUNE is depressed and I turn the VFO knob, the response varies by band. Sometimes the tuning rate is fast, sometimes it is slow, and sometimes the frequency will not change at all. There must be a setting that controls this, but I have tried the manual and could not find the answers Thanks and 73 Tom W2SC 8P5A __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software
Outstanding suggestion. I would second this one. Even better if we could change the settings 73, Tom W2SC 8P5A -Original Message- From: Barry N1EU [mailto:barry.n...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 11:10 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 needs survey -- firmware and application software To address the limited display area of the K3, I'd like to see a simple pc application that will present a virtual K3 display on the computer screen and provide full-time display of: shift (numeric) width (numeric) power compression mic gain sub preamp sub antenna selection sub shift sub width AF Limit AGC hold AGC DCY AGC SLP AGC THR (meant to be display-only and not to change settings, to be used in conjunction with LP-Bridge so that the CAT port can be shared with other applications) 73, Barry N1EU wayne burdick wrote: > > We're also planning a renewed effort to assist application software > developers.

[Elecraft] MCU LD
Hello - I am building a K3 kit and all was going well with the checkout and test when I decided to download the latest version of the firmware. The download failed and now the K3 displays "MCU LD" whenever it is turned on. The K3 utility programs no longer can talk the to the K3. My original PC was using a USB to serial cable and worked fine through all the calibration steps. I used another USB to serial adapter that was compatible with the K3 USB to serial software but it did not work either. I tried yet another PC that has a native serial port, but no luck with that as well. In verbose mode, the utility program says it is sending ";" at various baud rates and I presume it is getting no response. I suppose it is possible that the serial port failed after working for about 10 minutes, but it seems unlikely. All the boards seem to be seated well and I doubt it is a connection problem At this point, the K3 seems to have corrupted firmware, but it can no longer talk to a PC in order to do a new download. Not sure what to try next. Any suggestions welcome 73, Tom W2SC __ 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
