[Elecraft] KXPA100 Fault on ANT1
@ N7WA Hi Dink Many thanks for your help. It turned out to be the same issue as you experienced. After removing the ANT1 SO239 connection from the ATU board I’ve measured also a shorted cable. To be sure that there are no other issues, I connected the ANT2 SO239 to ANT1 on the ATU board and voila, ANT1 it is working! So, I only have to get a replacement cable to have both Antenna sockets back again in working order. 73, Gerald HB9CEY __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 Fault on ANT1
fyi Gerald I just had a similar issue. The coax connection between the ANT1 SO239 and the board shorted at the crimped TMP connector (after two years of use). Elecraft support (Rob) was helpful in troubleshooting too. Might check the spark gaps on the board too cheers dink, n7wa On 2/13/2021 11:13 AM, gerald.eberle wrote: Hi All While I’ve used my KX3 / KXPA100 with ATU in the Rtty contest a fault was displayed and ANT1 did not work anymore. No receive and high swr. PA and ATU on ANT2 are working as expected and the relays is switching between the 2 antennas. I think I’ve fried something on the input of ANT1. Where should I start to search? Any help is appreciated.
