Good Evening,
After a week of partly sunny skies and cool temperatures it looks
like we're due for a change. Colder temperatures with rain most of the
week. It is surprising to think it is June and I've not had one day in
the 70s yet. I was hoping for a much warmer year. Last year there
Hi Don,
Thanks for the reply. I did the voltage checks that you suggested, and all look
good. For U6 pin 1, "near 8V" is 7.6V. I hope that's close enough.
Ray, SM5LXP, emailed that he had seen the same problem, and it was found to be
a faulty L31. So today, I got another one and replaced it. Su
Don,
Thanks. I reflowed the RF board components without any improvement. So
onto the KSB2 next.

The weekly Elecraft SSB net will meet tomorrow (6/3/12) at 1800Z on 14.3035
MHz +/- QRM. I will be the net control station from Oregon. See you there.

If anyone has been successful in finding a way to send DX spot rig command
strings *smoothly* from N3FJP's ACLog to a K3, would you please email me with
the software settings you've used. I have not been able to get ACLog to

That *should* work fine. A Line Out level of 10 is what I use here
for receive audio on data modes like MT63, Olivia, etc.
Make sure you're using a stereo patch cord from the K3 to the input to
the recording device.

What happens if you plug computer speakers into the Line Out jack? If

Mike,
If you do not find the solution re-flowing the solder on the RF board
filter area, the problem source may be on the KSB2 board in the
switching diodes and/or resistors at the filter end of that board, so
for completeness, reflow those connections as well.

Mike,
OK, what I now suspect is that you have developed a fault in the IF
filter on the RF Board. My suspicion is that the OP1 filter on the KSB2
option is working just fine, but all the filters created using the
variable bandwidth filter have a lesser response than they did.
I would suggest
Don,
The effect happens when the antenna is disconnected as well as when
connected.

SSB Filter Widths
X1 = OP1
X2 = 2.4
X3 = 2.1
X4 = 1.8
CW Filter Widths
X1 = OP1
X2 = 0.7
X3 = 0.4
X4 = 0.1
I assume something is going wrong in the 4.915MHz Variable Bandwidth
Crystal Filter.
Hi Don,
SSB.
I used your method, some years ago now, to set up the filters.
The problem has appeared recently, so something has changed.

Yes, I would say that you have a significant difference there and it
indicates a problem of one nature or another.

How did you set up the IF filters? Use Spectrogram. Look at my website

Don,
Nice to hear from you again.
I had a similar thought from Jim, W4ATK.
I'm surprised the S-Meter is showing an additional 6 bars on X1. As I'm
listening to a quiet frequency I am assuming that's all additional
noise. Further that that is much more than seems justified by the

Gerald,
From what I know about the goals, the answer will be yes - it will work
with multiple transceivers, not just the KX3.

Brian e al,
I too believe that is the case, because I have noticed that when I change bands
the ramp up occurs. When that occurs I send DE N5GE QRL ? and after that I get
full output. This is especially noticeable on the MARS frequencies I operate
on.

You may be right. I do lots of S&P which more often than not includes a
band change. Perhaps it is the band change effect I'm seeing.

Hi Brian,
The problem you described after band changes or power level changes is
ABSOLUTELY a function of the TX gain setting. But the automatic setup
through the K3 utility might not solve the problem for you. In that case you
have to do a manual adjust. I had to do this on two bands for my ampli
My experience is that once the power has been managed as Don say's, there is no
more ramp-up. I use only CW and after the ramp-up the first dit is at full
output.
I'm using the KPA500 here.

I may be imagining things, but this effect seems to always be there with

I can't tell from your post just how much increase in noise you are hearing.
There will be an increase in the total noise heard just because the

What Roy says is true. The K2 and K3 use a closed control loop to

is measured and compared to the power requested, and the drive is
adjusted until the

Hi,
Another interesting problem with the K2. I've noticed that when
switching between the KSB2 filters, X1-X4, that there seems to be more
background noise on X1. And there is a similar increase in S meter bars.
On a quiet frequency with X1 selected, the S meter shows S8; X2-X4 show S2.
