Re: [Elecraft] Other: Can you run coax inside metal conduit?
Do you mean metal conduit vs metal coax?? I don't know what you could mean by "metal coax". There is no technical problem running through conduit (although I don't know if there is a building code restriction). I used to have a problem where keying my transmitter on 20m rang the front doorbell. I don't know what issue you are having, but I'm imagining the garbage disposal spurting whenever you transmit .

Re: [Elecraft] power connector part number
James, I can't believe that no one has replied to your question yet. The adapter is a "standard part". They are a "Tensility 10-01065". You should be able to find that on Google. They are definitely available from DigiKey as part number 839-1167-ND. This is the part I use for the PowerPole Adapters that I sell at http://stores.ebay.com/N0WL-Radio. I can't see any difference between this part and the one Elecraft delivers. Jon N0WL On 5/29/2018 10:12, James Cizek wrote: Hi all, Question here, I can't seem to find the answer to in the manual or with google. Is the power cord that comes with the KX3 a special part for Elecraft or is that a common "electronics distributor" part? The manual states a Switchcraft part number, but that part is for a standard straight plug, not the molded 90 degree plug that comes with the radio. I'd like to purchase more of these plugs for various places/power sources and would like to find an exact replacement so I can use some of them with the 3D printed coax-to-powerpole adapters that are out there. If the answer is "order it from Elecraft", that's acceptable, but if there is a generic part number I can buy at the same time as other parts I need (ie, mouser, digikey, etc) that would be good to know.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Power cable
Dave, I sell a product at http://stores.ebay.com/N0WL-Radio that goes a long way to solving your concern. It is a Anderson PowerPole adapter for the KX3. (I have designs for the KX2 and FT-817 also.) This adapter uses a 3D printed shell to securely attach the adapter to the KX3, keeping the length of the low gauge wire to an absolute minimum. There are other advantages to using an adapter like this - you can see them on the website. Please note that this current design cannot be used with an after-market heat sink. I will have another product for that shortly. Elecraft uses available space on the left side of the radio so efficiently that it is very hard creating a design that I would be happy to take into the field. jon poland, n0wl On 1/31/2018 08:49, Dave Sublette wrote: Good morning, I am using the standard power cable that is supplied with the KX3. Using a digital multi meter and the built in voltage monitoring capability of the KX3, it looks like the supply voltage is dropped by 0.5 volts in the power cord when transmitting with 5 watts According to the built in monitor, the KX3 is pulling 1.6 amps from my gel cell. The gel cell voltage drops also, but I compensated for that when I calculated the .5 volt drop in the power cord. It seems to me that a larger gauge wire is called for in the power cord. Also, I can't get the KX3 to transmit more than 5 watts. If I turn the power up to 10 watts, it transmits at that level briefly, then turns the power down to 5 watts. It must be some voltage sensing circuit that does it. The supply voltage is showing 11.4 VDC when keyed.. So what about the gauge of wire for the power cord? Do you think we need a larger sized wire? 73, Dave, K4TO __ 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 jonpol...@gmail.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
