Hello all,
yesterday and today morning I saw a random problem with my K3 in SPLIT

never saw this problem previously during my activations.

Hmmm ... before building my K3 (just finished), I bought a wrist strap

All computer speakers are amplified. Many of them have very poor immunity to
RF. I have sometimes reduced RFI to acceptable levels by winding a couple of
turns of the cables through snap-on suppression toroids. Winding several
turns through a large ring toroid would be more effective as the

You can save personal settings with K3 utility.
You can restore from there if you have any problem in the future

This could very easily be a nice K3 Utility feature. Actually, a good model

No problem using my K3's DVR with N1MM and the Microham USB III.
Using the F buttons to key the KDVR works great. Also tried the Enter

This is part of the reason why I have ditched HRD and gone back to Maclogger

Have you actually measured the temperature rise? I am interested in

While it does get warm, I have always found the temperatures to be well

Hi Wes,
Good thought! I will check this out tomorrow. Maybe the new DSP audio

If, not, I'm just hopeful that someone has seen these symptoms before and found
a solution. Otherwise, I will need to take the rig all apart on Saturday to
check

Prior to testing, I have reviewed the datasheet for the RA30H0608M

Hi Don,
Thank you for your help and information! K15 was the offender - when
hot, pins 3 to 4 and also 7 to 8 stay connected after changing the band

Well, as I recall I could not hold my hand on it, but i only ran it without a
fan once when I first built it and my memory is hazy.
Remember digital EME is one minute on, one minute off for hours. I have run
four hours at a time that way without a break, and I'm sure others run longer.
Don, some other considerations:
1). What about the other components inside the XV? If the power module is
happy running at 100C what does that do for everything else in the XV running
at 60-70C with no airflow?
2). My ambient temp in the shack during EME is 80F even with the house A/C
