Yes, but... I believe the original question was about L/R balance while listening to the main Rx only. This got kicked around on the wish list years ago as there are many of us with one weak ear. I don't recall hearing that it was ever done. Don't need a knob for it ... it could go in a menu

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

>"From experience, I'd say nearby lightning strikes would be the culprit." Highly unlikely. Clear skies for days. No lightning activity here in a long time here. Two years ago, I had a similar problem with static-damaged Schottky diodes in an Alpha 9500. Those diodes are used to sample RF

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

Knut and all, Yes, BUT... Lightning is a static charge which *will* produce transients in the antenna system. As will wind static, rain static and snow static. Large voltages can build up on the antenna and feedline, and will remain until dissipated. Sort of like a charged capacitor that

Re: [Elecraft] K3 digi

John, It may be a matter of choice, but I think having a live microphone when operating in digital modes is not a good thing. I would turn MIC+LIN off - the MIC SEL to LINE IN for DATA modes. The only application where I would use MIC+LINE is if I wanted to use a software application in

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

I strongly agree with Bob's advice, EXCEPT that I've gotten really tired of replacing Polyphasers on my high wire dipoles. I've recently switched to the arrestors that Array Solutions sells, both because I like the circuit better and because the gas discharge tubes are user replaceable. The

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

From experience, I'd say nearby lightning strikes would be the culprit.   I strongly urge everyone to use protection devices on all coax and balanced lines at the point where the feed lines and rotor lines enter the house.  I prefer Polyphaser devices.   Don't buy cheap or ham fest bargain

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

Hi Don and all, I really don't understand why static build up on the antenna should be a problem with the K3. Due to the (good) design of the SWR bridge (a two transformer design with a voltage transformer right across the output) the antenna port presents a dead short circuit at DC both in

Re: [Elecraft] K3 digi

All, The Line In level is adjusted with the MIC Gain, and he apparently has that working. Line Out level is a CONFIG menu entry - adjustable from 0 to 30, but recommendation is that it not be set higher than 10. My opinion from the short description is that it is a driver conflict or other

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Power Reading/SWR/ALC Problem

Paul, The diodes are the most likely suspect, so replace them first and re-check. You are correct that the problem is that the wattmeter is not feeding the power back to the MCU and the power becomes uncontrolled. Wattmeter damage is normally a result of static coming in on the antenna

Dick & Don, Thanks for confirming. Although unlikely to be the source of trouble, It also appears U6 and U8 are in the VFWD and VREF circuit paths. I'll order up everything and have it on hand when I replace this week. It could also be a passive problem like a marginally-corroded connector, or
