Re: [Elecraft] [K3] Hi cur on 6 meter
Hi Max, It seems that the KPA3 is not as efficient on 6m as on the other bands. My K3 draws 21.5A at 6m/100W. A friend of mine who owns a K3 complained about this phenomenon as well (25% more current on 6 than on other bands). Maybe the design team can explain this behavior ... -- Enno, PF5X Max iw0gxy wrote: > > Today I've noted the HI CUR warning on my K3. > The vswr is very low (around 1.2) and the supply is 50A, so is not a > supply overload question neither vswr problem (i checked also on dummy). > It happens when on 6m (and only on this band) the power is more than 84W. > I updated the firmware when it has been released but actually i didn't > noted if it happened with previous firmware releases. > Max IW0GXY > > -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Hi-cur-on-6-meter-tp2964341p2968306.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] Hi cur on 6 meter
I checked and the ammeter read 24A on 6...@100w and 18A on other bands. So it's an unusual current drain. Any hints? - http://www.iw0gxy.it -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Hi-cur-on-6-meter-tp2964341p2964363.html Sent from the [K3] mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] Hi cur on 6 meter
Today I've noted the HI CUR warning on my K3. The vswr is very low (around 1.2) and the supply is 50A, so is not a supply overload question neither vswr problem (i checked also on dummy). It happens when on 6m (and only on this band) the power is more than 84W. I updated the firmware when it has been released but actually i didn't noted if it happened with previous firmware releases.
