Re: [Elecraft] K3 very loud pops on 80m
Just did a version check on the _ftp.elecraft_ (ftp://ftp.elecraft) site and it says the current versions for the K3 are MCU 3.76, FPF 1.07 and DSP 2.52 Not sure why the version differences but I think I did see 3.78 and 2.54 Betas released. 73, Mike N9QR In a message dated 3/11/2010 11:50:33 A.M.

There is also a later beta version. Without wanting to start a thread on this subject, I want to say that I can't see any reason not to always load the latest beta release. As a field tester I always load the latest pre-beta code as soon as Wayne and Lyle make it available, and I've /never/ been seriously 'burned'. Each new version contains fixes for problems and new features -- and it's easy to go back to an earlier release if you wish. -- Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ __ 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 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] Need to select a dummy load for K3 TX calibration...(advice?)
Ridge has been a good source of O'Scope's and repair items also ... they had the original manuals and a couple of parts I needed for my Tek 2445A scope at very fair prices. They also have excellent customer service! I didn't buy the 200 Watt load ... thought I'd wait ... really a "Senior Moment" as it turns out. 73, Mike N9QR In a message dated 2/24/2010 1:06:46 P.M.

Who knows the bidding may go up to $50 before the 3 days have ended. So many people tell me about things like that quoting the bid price, but when I look, the price is always higher. Please clarify if it is a bidding price or a selling price (as in BUY NOW) BTW, the Ridge Equipment dummy loads are very good. Too bad they no longer have the 200 watt load nearly flat up to 1 GHz. I should have gotten 2 or 3 instead of only one. 73, Don W3FPR Don Nelson wrote: > > The same seller is selling this dummy load for less on ebay and the > shipping is less via ebay. > > http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Ohm-Dummy-Load-75-Watts-VERY-NICE-1973_W0QQitemZ250584212024QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a57fba238 > > Don, N0YE > > __ 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 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

. nice load but it's about $9 to ship it so total will run about $21 ... still a good deal!

If you're in a hurry you've already bought the MFJ from HRO. If you want to be a little more frugal you can get an adequate one here for 12 bucks! I know it says its a 75watt load but it will do 100 for long enough to get the job done and the K3 only calibrates at 50 any way... https://www.ridgeequipment.com/store/dummyloads.html ~Brett On Tue, 2010-02-23 at 10:13 -0800, Jeff Hall, W6EZY wrote: > Hello all, > > I need help picking out a proper dummy load to use for calibrating my new > K3.

[Elecraft] K3 and Alpha 91b
I have an Alpha 91b hooked to the K3 (SN 8376) and I'm having an "Odd" problem ... on 75/80 meter SSB, if I run the amp at 45 watts, which is what works on CW without issue, I encounter significant nuisance tripping of the Amplifier to the fault condition. The amp also exhibits a power spike into the 2KW range often times when it faults. If I reduce the power to 30 watts on the K3, the amp runs 1500 watts OK without tripping. Please resist the temptation to say "Run at 30 watts then". All other bands ... except 6 meters which I didn't check, do not exhibit this issue. Power out from the K3 is 45 watts and the amp runs 1500 watts out with NO nuisance tripping. I've talked to the tech's at Alpha and at least one other K3 owner has had this same problem. He asked me to check the amp with another radio so, using my spare radio, Yaesu FT-450, to drive the amp I have no nuisance tripping on any band while running 45-50 watts into the amp. Neither radio has ALC hooked up, only the TR relay. Both radios and amp are grounded to the same ground buss. RF calibration was done when the radio was assembled and I have not re-done that process. Any ideas as to why the radio would exhibit a tendency to over drive the amp just on 75/80 meters?
