[Elecraft] KAT100 issue

2018-08-04 Thread Mike Baird
An issue has arisen with my KAT100.  The tuner works fine but the LEDs for
the SWR do not light.  The PWR and Antenna LEDs are OK.  Can someone
recommend a solution?

Thanks,

MIke, W0RSR

[Elecraft] FT8 problems on 17 & 30 M

2017-10-02 Thread Mike Baird
Perhaps this is a software problem, but I thought I'd start here.  Using K3
(s/n 68xx), SignalLink USB and WSJT-X.  Everything works fine on FT8 on all
bands but 17 & 30.  I can decode on those bands, but there is no xmit.  The
rig keys OK and goes into xmit but there is no output.  Radio performs
normally on CW and SSB on these bands.  I use the same TX Data mode on all
bands.  Thought maybe there might be a hidden menu item that I might have
screwed up.

Anyway thanks for any help.

Mike, W0RSR

[Elecraft] K2 is sick?

2012-12-26 Thread Mike Baird
My trusty K2 (#5767) has just started acting up.  It seems to be fine on all
bands but 40M.  On that band,  the RX seems dead, and won't tune properly
with my KAT500.  It doesn't have the built in tuner.  The 100W amp is built
in.  Other bands show full output and normal RX.  Using my other radios have
ruled out any antenna problem.

 

Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

[Elecraft] KAT500 set up

2012-11-21 Thread Mike Baird
Just received my KAT500 and got it all hooked up.  Works perfect with my K3
and KPA500.  However, when I try to use it with other radios on the desk,  I
have a problem.  All works OK when the amp isn't inline.  But, when using
another radio (other than the K3), and you put the amp in the operate
position, I get almost a muting of the RX.  This is before actually keying
the amp with my footswitch.  I've fiddled with the keying cables with no
success.  Didn't have any trouble when using the previous tuner (Palstar).
I must be missing something rather obvious.

 

Thanks for any help.

[Elecraft] loss of sensitivity K3

2012-11-14 Thread Mike Baird
My K3 s/n 5947, intermittently loses sensitivity on all bands after being on
for a few minutes.  Usually tapping on the top of the rig restores things.
Also putting rig in xmit restores rx to normal.  Doesn't last though.  I've
eliminated the so 239 connector and coax as culprits.  Not using the
internal tuner. 

 

Any ideas??

[Elecraft] new K3

2011-11-04 Thread Mike Baird
I'm just setting up my new K3 #5947.  I ordered it with the sub RX
installed.  There are two issues I am trying to resolve.  First, on pwr on,
I get ERR DVR message on screen.  Second,  when I tap SUB to activate the
sub rx, I get static in the speaker from the 2nd rx, but it' s not receiving
any signals.  I've only tried it using the same band as the main RX.  I only
have one antenna connected, but I assumed that the 2nd RX could be tapped
from it on rx.  I do have the auto tuner installed, no KXV3.  Any hints
would be great.

 

Mike, W0RSR
