I do not have ACOM2000 but I use the same arrangement with Expert 1-KFA and

response to learn the operating freq. When you terminate logger there is no
polling anymore. Therefore the system does not work as expected. This is

Open it up and reseat all the cables.
This feels like the kind of flakiness that a poor cable connection causes.

Just received an almost unused KX3 from a friend and seem to be having a
major problem. When first turned on, all is well and everything functions
as expected. After a time, it acts as though the VFO is locked and won't
change freq., even if I change bands. It is not locked because I have

My cable is store bought, and it is the kind in figure 7.2, i.e.

figure 7.2.

Hi Bill
Did you build your cable according to schematic on page 34 (figure 7-6)
from Acom 2000 manual? This wiring diagram is for K3 CAT with ACOM 2000A
only. I believe this diagram assumes there is no computer connected in.
It only describes the case in which there is a connection between the

the old one failed). I haven't dragged it out to measure the toroids

My PX3 is freezing quite a bit though. It's freezed 5+ times this afternoon

Mike, I think you will find that the vertical is a better antenna for stations
more than 2,000 miles from your QTH, differing results for stations between
1,000 and 2,000 miles and poorer for stations nearer than 1,000 miles. An NVIS

Good Day,
I am currently using a modified Cushcraft R8 with my Elecraft K1. I had never
considered a vertical before the R8 and this was a compromise with my
neighbors. Originally I had a dipole but that was only for 40 meters. I bought
the R8 with the idea of multiple bands without a tuner. Be

Yes, it is. Just remember, you really do want to use a

work on something internal to it.

Bill,
I too use the Acom 2000A and do not know why you bother with so many

need to go to so much trouble with control cables for the amplifier
Friends,
It seems to me that verticals get a bad rap because most people who use
them are space restricted therefore the vertical is close to structures and
there is no room for any radial system. The counterpoise may be no more
than the pipe hammered into the ground which supports the verti
