Re: [Elecraft] HW-16
I guess you got off on a light sentence!! LOL I still have my HW-16 with the HG10B VFO. Guess I should under cover it just to make sure it still works. Although I lost my first two log books I still remember my first contact back in May of 1976. 73 Kyle, WA4PGM On Sun, Jul 3, 2022 at 10:01 PM Eric Norris wrote: > The HW-16 was a great rig back then, with silent QSK and a good crystal > filter. > > I remember getting frustrated one night, and I cranked the PWR knob past > the red mark on the plate-current meter that showed the 75-watt Novice DC > input plate current limit.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 MCU download /
Page 47 = https://ftp.elecraft.com/K3S/Manuals%20Downloads/K3S%20Owner's%20man%20A1.pdf K3S Firmware Self-Test If the K3S detects an error in its firmware (an incorrect checksum), it will flash the TX LED and show MCU LD on the LCD (with backlight off). If this occurs, connect the K3S to your computer and reload firmware. While firmware is loading, the Delta-F LED (∆f) will flash. When the download is complete, the K3S should reset and run normally. Forcing a Firmware Download If you accidentally load an old or incompatible firmware version and find the K3S unresponsive, do the following: (1) unplug the K3S from the power supply and wait 5 seconds; (2) plug the power supply back in; (3) hold the transceiver’s POWER switch in; after about 10 seconds, you’ll see the TX LED flash (you’ll also see MCU LD on the LCD); (4) load the correct firmware version. Good Luck!!

[Elecraft] K3 no RX when SUB is on, 75/80 meters only
Found something odd tonight while trying to work the W1AW/8 station on 3528. When I turn on SUB now vfo b has no receive. I can switch from VFO A and VFO B and receive is fine. But when SUB is on no receive, works fine on all bands except 75/80. Anyone see this? Version 04.86 recently updated maybe 30 days ago.
