Re: [Elecraft] KX3 tuner

2015-03-27 Thread George via Elecraft
No longer matches any antenna. I press ATU tune and hear relays working. While relays click I see 3 watts on led and swr stays at 25.4. Does not matter what antenna I use. If I bypass tuner and connect a dummy load it shows 25.4 to 1 swr also. Planning a trip soon so need it working. Thanks

This is very similar to the "car quits on the road" diagnostic technique. The first step is to pull off the road. Step 2 is to open the hood and stare at the engine. Look everywhere. Look at it very carefully. Is it still there? If the answer is yes, step 3 is to call AAA. :) >> >> You migh

Why would you want a schematic? If it's new, Elecraft will fix it free. I'm all for being able to troubleshoot my gear, but if I buy something new and it fails within the warranty period, I'm not going to waste my time trying to fix it, the manufacturer will. 73, Scott, N9AA On 3/27/15 12:44

Thanks, Bob, for your concise description of how you use your NCC-1 with your K3---it is very helpful to me as I am almost confused by all the choices of configuration---a lot more ways to set it up than I thought. My situation is that I plan (at least initially) to use only 1 un-amplified no

Jerry, You might try my tested and very successful method of working on Elecraft gear. 1. Open up the cabinet (top and bottom). 2. Observe the components inside, looking at each one, contemplating issues, and possible problems. 3. Place the cabinet back together. 4. Ship off to Elecraft.

http://elecraft.mailman.qth.narkive.com/QwnNWqcg/k3-cwt-fine-spot-rit I discovered this question there and will join to it. Will the KX3 features: - CWT mode enables FINE tuning - SPOT with RIT enabled tunes RIT, not VFO A be ported to the K3? I liked these features at my KX3 a lot. An

Brian, If the toroid cores have a painted color on them, they are *not* ferrite cores. The ferrite cores are a dull gray. The more common ferrite cores are type 43 Mix, but could also be a 61 mix. The 61 mix is a lighter shade of grey than the 43 mix. For reference, the tiny cores used for w
