Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Amp Shut Down Problem

That would be of great benefit if you had an intermittent fault, such as a fault in the antenna, particularly in a contest. Antenna faults are probably the most common and an ERR message for high SWR sounds like a really good idea. David G3UNA - Original Message - From: "Jim Wiley"

I wouldn't be in a hurry to wave a strong magnet anywhere near radio equipment that contains ferrite or dust cores.

You can use advanced menu PTT-KEY and set it to OFF-OFF and configure your digimode program to use the "TX;" RS232 command sequence to enter TX instead of asserting RTS or DTR. Leigh/WA5ZNU > I have my K3 hooked up to the computer via a couple serial ports. I also > ride bicycles and have a Garm

Another approach is to simply turn the K3 so that gravity holds the screw in place as you start it. That is, always be working with your screwdriver vertical, tip down, when starting a troublesome screw. There are only a few of these, so it's not as much tipping of the K3 this way or that as one mi
