[Elecraft] KX3 Reduced output power on 20M and above
I just tried to tune up my L4-B on 17M using the KX3 as the driver. I noticed the power output was less than the nominal 200 watts that I have been getting. I checked the output power of the KX3 and it too was down, about 7.5 watts. I checked to make sure it was matched with the ATU and that checked OK. I checked to see what power level it was set to and that was 10 watts. Next, I tried bypassing the amp and tuning into a dummy load. Below 20M it will put out 10 watts full power. Above it is less than full and output power decreases as I go to higher frequency bands, i.e. 15,12,10,and finally 6 with the lowest power out at 3.2 watts into a dummy load. I checked the voltage reading on the KX3 and it only dropped 0.3 volts from 13.5 to 13.2 volts. I am sure I had full power into the L4-B last night on 20M. Does anybody have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

[Elecraft] Scanning with the KX3
I think that a step is missing from the manual. To Scan one must first do what the manual describes. Once you have held the SCAN button the display shows your VFO A and VFO B settings, to start scanning you must hold the SCAN button once more. From this point, the manual picks up again with the choices AF ON or not. To resume scanning you hold SCAN again. I love my KX3, Denis WA5TYJ __ 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] Kool Aid 2M
I'm not sure but I think the reference is to Jonestown, Guyana. Jim Jones had blind followers in the end thy all drank KOOL AID. Hence it's derogatory connotation.
