I am having difficulties getting my Heil ProSet with the HC-4/HC-5 mic
cartridge to work with the K3/O-Mini + RemoteRig (purchased from Elecraft)
where there is no audio reaching the K3 at the radio site. I’m told that the
Heil mic cartridge is a dynamic element with no pre-amp gain. The mic

I wouldn't be holding my breath Dan. At one time, quite awhile ago,
there were rumors of a KPA800 and/or KPA1500, and I believe one or more
prototypes were built. A good friend, one of the Elecraft KPA500
engineers, mentioned that those prototypes fed a lot of the design into
the 500, possibl

Dan,
No truth whatsoever as far as I know.
There were prototypes for an 800 watt and a 1500 watt amplifier shown
many years ago, but those served as 'learning lessons' for the KPA500.
The KPA500 will do 600 to 700 watts with ease, weighs only 26 pounds,
and integrates with the K3 making the K3
Very new to Elecraft, just own a W2, but looking long at the KPA500. Heard a
couple rumors that a 1000 Watt unit was coming, but with separate power supply.
Any truth to this?
Thanks.

The mod kit has a label for the higher current capacity that is used to cover
the original one on the K3. I'm guessing new K3s are labeled correctly with
the higher available current.

Benny,
I just finished my basic K1, Serial Nr 3342, with the first filter board
(20m/15m). I'm amazed at how well it went. No missing parts. Every jack &
plug fits with laser precision. All resistance & voltage measurements fell
right on, or midrange between the manuals listed parameters. I'd go ba
I agree - why "fix" something that is not broken.

Benny,
The voltage at U1 pin 16 may be OK - that is one of the resonator pins
and can be loaded by your DMM. That is what makes it read as unstable.
For some reason, the K2 MCU is not communicating with the band board
firmware.
Check all the soldering again, and if that does not resolve itse

Hi to the group
I have a K3 and a KX3 with PX3 and PA100. I always keep an up to date config
file on my computer. If I get an out of sequence power off I always restore the
config using the Elecraft utility. If I load new firmware I also restore the
good config. If I go to field day I make sure

If I select download the latest firmware

Any thoughts on what gives? This been going on for a few
The KX3 (and K3) bandwidth controls are with respect too the audio
frequency, not the RF frequency. So in LSB mode, for example, the
bandwidths move in opposite directions on the KX3 and PX3. In AM mode,
the bandwidth is mirrored about the carrier frequency.

Hi Don,
thanks for your help.
I did the troubleshooting steps:
- Turning the K1 off and on again -> no effect. No relays clicking on startup.
- FIL-U1 is installed correct (notch to the rear), no bent pins, checked the
soldering of the socket.
The manual states that FIL U1 may be defective. I
I have noted that if you remove power it does not give the processor time to
save the last frequency and other settings that it automatically saves
(operating conditions). I had this happen with a defective power supply and a
few times when the power was automatically removed. My dog likes to
Thanks Roger, that information is rewarding.
Imagine what would happen if a power outage occurs during a firmware
upload. The odds are slim, but my middle name is 'Murphy'.
I want a good battery in my laptop as well. It has to finish the upload.

It IS possible to send the K3 off to never-never land by removing the 12 volt
input before
shutting the radio off with the power switch. I've had it happen whilst mucking
around
behind my desk and accidentally pulling out the Anderson power-pole connector.

I'm currently in the middle of building my K1 #3343.

The LED comes on but there ist no relay clicking.
