[Elecraft] KX3: COR
Wayne said - a built-in carrier-operated relay (I've transmitted at 10 watts into the KX3 without damaging it) Which begs the question (at least for me). Was this intentional or an ooops? :-) de Doug KR2Q __ 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] KX3: COR
I suspect it was intentional. From having met him and read a lot about the approach he takes to designing things, he tends to insure that everything Elecraft designs and builds is as bulletproof as possible. Sounds like it was a failure mode test of the COR in case the T/R switch failed and the KX3's TX pumped all it's RF back into the RX. Working right, it probably would save a lot of more expensive repairs if the T/R switch failed in the wrong mode. Of course, it IS remotely possible that it was an OOPS during a late night operating session ;-) W0EB Wayne said - a built-in carrier-operated relay (I've transmitted at 10 watts into the KX3 without damaging it) Which begs the question (at least for me).

Was this intentional or an ooops? We were trying to find out the maximum power level the COR could tolerate.
