When you mention AUX2, it suggests to me that you're trying to key the amp by directly connecting the KXPA100 PA KEY port to the KX2's AUX jack, which is not the same as the KX3's ACC2 jack. Could you clarify how your KX2 is connected to the KXPA100? Are you using the recommended method of connection, i.e., the KX2ACBL and KXPACBL adapters? My intuition is that the KX2ACBL is the most likely culprit; either it isn't fully seated, or it isn't there. 73, Ryan AI6DO __ 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
[Elecraft] Question re KX2 and KXPA100
I had that problem manifest itself on my KX3/KXPA100 system. Double check that both ends of the KX3 to KXPA100 adapter cable (that little black box that is connected to the PA100 via the RJ45 connector) are completely mated/pushed in where they are inserted in the ACC1 and ACC2 jacks on the KX3... __ 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] Question re KX2 and KXPA100
David, I don't know the KX2 well enough to give you even a guess, although it is obvious that something is putting the KXPA100 into transmit. Do you have the ACC plug fully inserted - give it that extra bit of push. But something is apparently wrong, and I suggest you contact K3support at Elecraft. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/27/2017 1:38 PM, david perry wrote: Hi Folks Quick question for you.

When I go above ten watts on the dial setting on the kx2 the TX light on the PA comes on and of course my Rx goes deaf. Wind it back to below 10 watts or below and the relay in the PA clicks and the Rx works again. __ 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
[Elecraft] Question re KX2 and KXPA100
Hi Folks Quick question for you. I have a KX3 (three) and a KX2 (two) and a KXPA100. The kx3 and pa100 work fine. However, when I use the kx2 it isnt fine. I set AUX2 to ON, PA to ON and all is well UNTIL I go over 10 watts. When I go above ten watts on the dial setting on the kx2 the TX light on the PA comes on and of course my Rx goes deaf. Wind it back to below 10 watts or below and the relay in the PA clicks and the Rx works again. Ive got latest firmware in KX2 and PA100. What am I missing?
