Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver slow to recover ?
Using 3.44 beta, since installing I seem to have a problem when going from transmit back to receive. Not all the time but often enough to notice. Me too. Like you, I thought the amp relay was playing up but sometimes the audio level slides down just after the rig goes to RX, whereas with a sticky amp relay the RX side is normally low from the very moment of changeover. I thought it might be a problem with my ant system, ant switch or feeder but the SWR is normal on TX. 73, Gary ZL2iFB K3 #2887 FW#3.44 __ 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 Receiver slow to recover ?
Gary, The fact that the antenna SWR is low on TX only rules out the antenna and feedline. If there are any relays in the path (such as an amplifier T/R relay), the TX will be through a different set of contacts than RX. Physically remove the amplifier from the picture (re-route the coax) - if the problem is cured, the amp relay is at fault, bt if it persists, then the K3 is to blame. 73, Don W3FPR Gary Hinson wrote: Using 3.44 beta, since installing I seem to have a problem when going from transmit back to receive.
