Re: [Elecraft] K3 assembly issue

2021-02-16 Thread KJ7SOY
Thanks Gernot. The RF board was already assembled when I bought the unit - I 
didn’t do any soldering. 

I’ve spent two days going through the boards with a fine tooth comb (aka strong 
magnifier) and I can’t find any solder bridges or poorly seated components. I 
did wake up with an idea in my head at 3am though, so I have another avenue of 
attack to try this afternoon. 

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I’ll post when I’ve tested my idea.

The resistance checks are meant to measure at U13 after being placed and 
soldered. It is not a component check, but it will check if you have 
done the placement and soldering of all the connected stuff correctly. 
IAW,  a different value could mean you did a mistake somewhere else. 
Visually inspect the boards, solder joints etc before you pull out the 
component. In case you already did it, then just test the 7808 outside 
of the board. Put 12V to Pin1, GND to Pin 2 and check if you get 8V at 
Pin 3.


Happy building,

Unassembled Heathkits have sold for amazing amounts of money.  (I use 
the past tense because I doubt there any of those treasures left these 
days.)


I have even heard of people "making" an unassembled kit by  buying a 
built one, taking it apart, unsoldering all the components, and 
replacing the soldered parts with new ones.  Apparently it is 
financially worthwhile to do that.   :=)

[Elecraft] K3 Assembly issue with bottom Heat Sink cover!

2008-07-30 Thread williamsonr
Hey gang,

Just spent 4 hours assembling K3 s/n 1318 and all went well except for one 
slight but potentially serious hardware problem.  When installing the bottom 
heat sink cover over the LPA I noticed that the required 4-40 x 1/4 screws 
bottomed out in the standoffs under the TO-220 LPA transistors before they 
would compress the cover to the transistors (and yes I can measure screw 
lengths).  This will leave a gap between the transistor and the heatsink and 
not provide proper heat sinking!  It is strange to note that one of the Manual 
Errata changes was to point out that the heat sink cover was slightly thicker 
than the other bottom cover.  Wonder if this part has changed?  Any way, I 
added 3 #4 stainless steel flat washers under the screw heads and that allows 
the screws to fully compress the heat sink against the transistors.  For a 
belts and suspenders fix I also added a dab of heat sink compound to the 
transistors as well.  I did not check the screws coming from the top side of 
 t!
!
he LPA assy to see if the factory may have used the wrong/longer screws taking 
up extra standoff threads.  A #4 split washer could have also been left off of 
this top side screw and create the same issue or tol. stack up of the parts?

Any way HEADS UP!

Rodger,
I assembled my K3 a couple of weeks ago (s/n 1217), and did not experience
your problem. The three transistors clamped nicely against the (thicker)
bottom cover using only the hardware specified in the instructions. As I
recall, there are both 3/16 and 1/4 screws in the kit. You sure you've
used the correct screws everywhere?

Took me about 10-11 hours to assemble my K3 (100W). I'm amazed you could do
it only 4 hours!

[Elecraft] K3 - Assembly Issue - U12 Test

2008-05-10 Thread Joe Word
My resistance test (page 39) on U12 is less than the 500 ohms per
manual. It is 350 to 400 ohmn (different scales on digital meter). My
analog meter shows 270 ohms.

Anyone else had this issue?

I emailed support, but thought I would check here also.

Mine measured  either 6K or 60K ohms (can't read my own scribbling) 
according to a marginal note in the assembly manual.
