Re: [Elecraft] LP PAN

The LP-PAN Software Defined Panadapter works fantastic. I use the K3/LP-PAN/PowerSDR combination and it far exceeds the panadapter display on my IC-7800 in both weak signal sensitivity and real time display refresh rate (not to mention the ability to mouse click on a displayed signal and jump

Re: [Elecraft] KAT2 Power problem continued

Tom, With R6 out, and DC voltage on U4 pin 3, but 0 volts on U4 pin 1, you certainly can suspect that U4 is toast. Unless you have a solder bridge between U4 pins 2 and 3 *and* no connection between pins 1 and 2 - that would be 2 failures, and we normally expect only a single failure, so a bad

Re: [Elecraft] KAT2 Power problem continued

As per Gary's suggestion, I removed and rewound T1. I also reflowed all the joints in the SWR bridge and on U4. With R6 out, I still measure 0.0 V and with it in I'm still under 3 v. With it in, I read the same 2.4V as before. While I can't confirm the actual output power exactly, my MFJ tuner

Re: [Elecraft] k3 and n1mm comm problem

Recent versions of N1MM Logger seem to have problems with serial port CW keying via the K3's radio control port, at least when that port is a USB adapter. Try setting DTR and RTS both to Always Off and unchecking the CW/Other box beside the port in the N1MM Configurer to see if that gets your r

Re: [Elecraft] KAT2 Power problem continued

Tom, The voltage at U4 pin 3 should be between 3 and 4 volts with 5 watts of power flowing through the wattmeter section of the KAT2 *and* with the FWD potentiometer (R1) fully clockwise. U4 is configured as a unity gain op amp, and the voltage at the output (pin 1)should be equal to the volta

Joe, I am not certain what you are dong wrong (if anything). If it is intelligent and lucid for even brief moments, you likely have things correct, but you are getting data corruption somewhere. Try increasing the data speed. Many USB to serial adapters work fine at high speeds, but will fai
