[Elecraft] P3 vs SDR-IQ
Thanks to all that replied to my post. 1. I am using Tracking mode and have Averaging set at 14. I want to see the SSB pattern smoothly and not like an O'scope. I always slow the pattern down to see clearly the transmitted bandwidth and treble/bass balance. 2. I do not use Fixed mode, If I am tuning up the band I want to see whats ahead, in Fixed mode you can not. But the scope pattern stays 'clean in Fixed mode, I wish it stayed clean in Tracking mode. When I say clean I mean Averaging does not revert back to 0 while tuning. John, ZS5J please note, on the Flex 6500 (and all 6000 series) that used SmartSDR software, the panadapter is in Fixed Mode (to use a Elecraft term) and can not be changed. This is the reason I no longer own a Flex 6000 series radio. I have tried the various Auto Adjust parameters in Fixed Mode, but they do not resolve my concern. Joe N9VX --- Hi Joe - Do you have signal averaging turned on to reduce the noise floor? If you do, it has to stop averaging when the freq is being changed while tuning, temporarily raising the noise floor slightly. It then re-starts multi-pass averaging once you stop tuning. This is normal for signal averaging. I run with averaging set =2 or 3 passes. When I tune I barely notice a small increase in the noise floor. If you have a lot of local pulse noise, you might want to turn on the P3s NB function to help. If Averaging is turned off, I can't think of a normal scenario where the noise floor would go up when tuning the band. It certainly does not here. Anyone else have any ideas? 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 7/30/2015 5:43 PM, Joe Word wrote: I have been using a P3 with my K3 for the last two weeks and not happy with it's operation. I set the parameters to what I like, the patterns look good, but when I tune the screen fills with noise and you can not see the signals up and down the band. I am told the SVGA option does the same thing. Have owned radios from Apache Labs and Flex and used the SDR-IQ/SpectraVue and LP-Pan panadapters and all of them do not have this problem. On SDR-IQ/SpectraVue the pattern smears some when tuning, but no noise. Joe N9VX -- Has anyone compared the SDR-IQ as a panadapter with the P3? I am using the SDR-IQ now but would like to be able to use my entire computer screen for other displays during contests.

[Elecraft] KPA500 Heat Expansion Pop
I changed the screws in my amp yesterday morning and ran it yesterday afternoon and night, and have not heard any pop since. I used the 3/16 that were extras from a K3 build. I got from the hardware store 4-40 1/2 long flat heads, but the counter-sink angle was different, so I did not use them. Here are the basic steps I used to change out the screws: You have to remove the top cover (do not remove the screw second from the back on the left (it attaches the safety interlock plunger). Remove the right side panel and remove the front panel. Remove all the wires attached to the front of the PA unit, remove the screws that go through the bottom panel into the Z bracket on the PA unit, remove the two back screws that go into the Z bracket. Then rotate the PA unit out from the front so you can get to the screws to be changed. I replaced one screw at a time, did not tighten them until all were replaced. Joe N9VX --- My amp has been click free for four days now. To clarify, page 22 Fig.27, is the area I'm referring to. Change the five 5/16 screws to 3/16 when mounting the Z-bracket on the PA/LPF module. I also would have preferred to use 1/4 screws but none come with the kit. __ 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] KPA500 Heat Expansion Pop
Are you still pop free after changing the screws? Are the five screws you changed the ones installed on page 22 of the assembly manual? Thanks, Joe N9VX -- I think I may have solved this problem. One of the other posts mentions that the Z-bracket screws are too long and you don't get a tight fit. I changed the five screws from 5/16 to 3/16 and did notice a better grip between the bracket and the PA assembly. I have run it all evening and haven't heard a click or a pop. I even ran the temp up and still nothing. Will it last? I don't know, but it seems to have fixed it. The guy who suggested this has submitted it to Elecraft for a change. Good luck and lets hear if any of you have the same result. __ 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] KPA500 Heat Expansion Pop
This is what I know at this point. Based on comments on this board and private emails, this is a common issue, I would think a good many people that don't think they have the issue just don't hear it due to hearing loss or head phone use. It happens with both factory made and kits. I tried to resolve mine by loosening the top panel screws (so not torqued), but no help. I loosened the transformer bolt and re-tighten it (it was tight to start with), but no help. Could this be from the heat sensing device that triggers the fan?

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Heat Expansion Pop
Gary, That sounds like what I am hearing, thought it was a relay controlling the fan, but as you said, it did not pop when the fan came on/off. Joe N9VX - Mine pops or clicks too. In my case, it sounds like a relay switching. I thought at first it was something sensing the temperature and changing the fan speed, but the pop doesn't (often) coincide with a change in fan speed, so I think that's a red herring. Another ZL told me his KPA does the same thing. Our amps still work just fine though! 73 Gary ZL2iFB On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 12:37 PM, Joe Word joe.n...@gmail.com wrote: My KPA500 has developed a heat expansion pop.

Re: [Elecraft] [KPA500] Feature Request
Personally, I simply kill the main supply power line to the station. That does the same thing with one switch. Answer: I also kill the power to the station, but I run the amp on 240v and have no power switch. Here in Texas we get a lot of lightning storms that wreak havoc on our electrical grid. In the 12 years I've lived here, I have lost 2 televisions, a microwave and a range to lightning related power issues. Answer: I also unplug in warm weather, but in the winter I do not. The amp is slightly warm with the back switch on. I might add, I love the amp, it's one of the best pieces of equipment I have ever owned!

[Elecraft] KPA500 audio muffled?
Chuck, I had muffled audio reports while using a Tokyo Hi Power 1.2Kfx amp. It has coming from RF getting into the amp. THP wrote it off, saying nothing they could (would) do about it because I was on the second floor. But... I now have a KPA-500 and have no problems on any band at any power level. Just a thought! Joe N9VX I have gotten a few reports of sounding like my audio is muffled as compared to running the K3 alone. It is true that with several listeners in different states, there is not a consensus of opinion on that. Some of the guys think it sounds just fine, and some say they can hear a slight muffled sound with the KPA turned on. The point of comparing it to K3 only and K3 with KPA500 is that the mic is not in the equation. The report is clearly that the amp sounds muffled. Not unreadable, just slightly muffled. I have a bias current of 0.4A...about the only thing I can think of to check. I think there was some discussion of setting the bias current here, but I can't find it again. What is the range of bias current for best linearity? I don't see any help in the manual. - Chuck, KE9UW -- __ 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] KPA500 General Questions
I am considering a KPA500 and have some questions for those that own one: 1. What Input SWR are you seeing? Does it vary by band? 2. Is there a lag in band switching when not using a K3 (Used with non-Elecraft radio). 3. In normal SSB operation, how loud is the fan? I know this varies per person, some don't hear fan noise and others do. What would you compare it to? As an example, the Yaesu MARK-V Field is OK, but the MARK-V 200 watt model is too loud for me.

[Elecraft] KPA-500 Features and Pricing
I agree with Jack's comments below 100%. Sounds like the amp is way over priced to me. Joe N9VX no K3 at this time, but thinking about another one. - It looks like Elecraft may be abandoning their traditional most bang for the buck market position in favor of selling over priced matching accessories to stupid yuppies. Unlike the K3, a $2000 500W amp is not going to be in the best value position in anyone's analysis, although I'm sure they will sell a few to the true believers. Currently, used prices for ALS-600's run $800 to $900 and ALS-1300's are showing up for sale at $1800 to $2000. In my case, there is a finite amount of money available for radio station enhancements. When I can buy a solid state MFJ for ~$1.50/watt or an older no-tune ETO Alpha for ~$1.00/watt, a $4.00/watt Amp that's principal virtue seems to be matching my K3, doesn't have a snow balls chance in Hades of ever gracing my desk. But maybe the rumored ridiculous price point is just a smoke screen and the real product will show up with a more palatible price. 73 Jack KZ5A K3 #4165 __ 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
