[Elecraft] KX3 build question
I am in the final assembly of my Kx3, And it appears that the KXFL3 is keeping that corner of the case from "completely closing (by just a little bit)- as in both sides bottoming out, where the thumb screw comes in contact with the to chassis. . With the FL3 removed, it closes completely. I have trimmed the cutout fingers from the edge of the fl3. It does seem to close well enough, but just not all the way. Is this a concern, or am I good to go? Thanks and 73s, Pete -- Pete Axson W4SEC 17901 NE 18th Ave Citra, FL 32113 __ 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] KPA500 - Full power on 6M
I was looking through the archives to see if the KPA 500 will be a full 500Watts on 6 meters, or reduced power. Did anyone pick up on that? 73s, Pete -- Pete Axson W4SEC __ 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] K3 - CW Paddle input failure
Blazing ahead, I found that RFC3 (100uh choke on the "dot" input) has opened up. besides infant part failure, I don't know what could have caused that - Unless it was my blazing cw speed on the last contest that was more than it could handle ;)!! Or perhaps they designed in a LID fuse!! Anyway, I guess I need to order me a single 100uh SMD choke. thanks for the replies. 73s, Pete 0 -- Pete Axson W4SEC 17901 NE 18th Ave Citra, FL 32113 __ 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] K3 - CW Paddle input failure
I turned on my K-3 #3096 today and it seems that the paddle "tip" input has stopped working. The sleeve input works FB. I have swapped dits & dahs on the tip/ring in the menu, and the problem stays on the tip input. Checked my Paddle/cable - all is well there. Before I dive head first into troubleshooting, is there any known hardware/software/illegal menu settings that i might have missed?

[Elecraft] [K3] KPA3 mounting screw
Good evening, While installing the KPA module in my freshly built K3, I noticed the inside tooth washer on one of the mounting screws fastening the PA module to the screen comes perilously close to a trace. It is the screw closest to a board mounted trimmer, and the trace comes from a to-220 device. Is there something I overlooked, or is this a non issue? I didn't see anything on a basic search of the archives Thanks, Pete -- Pete Axson W4SEC __ 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] Dayton'09
Just got back from my first Dayton experience. What a blast! Enjoyed seeing the gang from Aptos. It was also a pleasure to finally get to meet Tom(N0SS), Don(W3FPR) and Lyle(KK7P). Talk about a top notch group. (and all around nice guys to boot ;)). Oh yea, just got an email from UPS. Seems that there is a 21 pound white box headed to me, from somewhere in California. Wonder what it could be??
