[Elecraft] K2 first power on test without relays

My k2 is almost ready for its initial power on test.  Studying the schematics I think its safe to do so before installing relays as I have not ordered those yet, any reason it wont work?.  Also won't have 1n5871 sb530 yet either.  I realize preatt bands and other switches won't work yet.  And

Looks like fun Phil! Nice pictures of your antenna and rig in your article http://ad5x.com/images/Articles/Portable%20Dipole.pdf There needs to be a KX3 Portable Operations photos page in the Elecraft web site. John KN5L __ Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] K2 first power on test without relays

John, You will need the VFO Range select relays to get any VFO frequency that is usable, and you need the bandpass filter relays to establish a path through the BPF, and you will need the LPF relays to get a proper path through the LPF. So get all the relays in before attempting any testing.

[Elecraft] K3 Receiver Failure on Curacao

All:   Here on Curacao, one of the members' K3 stopped receiving abruptly this morning, after he had called a couple of times and while he was just listening. He said it sounded like someone disconnected the antenna.    Neither the Main nor Subreceiver are hearing signals. Using Antenna 1,

Jeff, The K3 Manual describes a process to force a firmware download if you accidentally load an old or incompatible firmware version and find the K3 unresponsive, and you might try that. Page 45 of the manual which you could download from the Elecraft web site. 1. Unplug from the power

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver Failure on Curacao

There is a parameter initialization (EEINIT) procedure in the K3 owners manual. You will want to save the configuration first, because it resets all calibration and configuration, and you will need to be able to repeat all that or restore the configuration. I presume you have a K3 Utility and

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Receiver Failure on Curacao

Although you got plenty of replies concerning possible firmware problems, your symptoms sound a lot like what happened to one of my K3s recently that in the end turned out to be a faulty KXV3, the so-called Transverter Interface that also supports the RX ANT I/O and the I/F OUT. If you have a

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 and KPA-500

The KPA500 provides between 12 to 14 dB gain depending on the amp and the band. FCC rule 97.317(a)(2) limits the gain of FCC-certified commercially sold amplifiers for the amateur market to 15 dB of gain. My KPA500 has about 12 dB of gain on 20 meters and about 13.5 dB of gain on 10 meters.
