2013-10-18 Thread Gary W. Hvizdak
The 700 Hz filters just arrived! Most are already sold but a handful are still available for purchase. Demand tends to fluctuate widely, so we can't provide an accurate guess as to how quickly they might sell out. (It might be hours, or it might be weeks.) Please visit http://www.unpcbs.com/ fo

That only explains the apparent drain of several amperes Jim noticed. There is still a static drain of nearly 40 mA when the K3 is "off". That was measured by at last two or three of us. I used a DMMs inserted in the power supply line. The 38 mA parasitic drain on mine is almost entirely to the

I am looking to upgrade my solar panels and battery bank to be able to order and use a kpa500 amp. I wanted to know if anyone had one and a kil-a-watt meter if they could take some readings for me? I wanted to know how many watts it pulls in off, stand-by, operate, and at full power out. Thank y

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Current Drain When Off

2013-10-18 Thread Bill Frantz
When I tried measuring in the negative lead, I found zero amps. The problem is that the grounding system in my station setup bypasses the negative lead, probably in several ways, letting me power the K3 up with no connection to the negative power supply lead at all. Cheers - Bill, AE6JV On 1
