Loaded up the beta firmware today. The PTT (key line) was dead after
that. Reloading 1.64 and all was functional again.
What am I overlooking?

Don,
It seems you are having trouble with both the PLL Reference Oscillator
and the BFO (TP2 should be near 4915kHz).
The VFO TP1 is apparently oscillating if you have a frequency of
4918.88, but that frequency is not correct.
Tackle the PLL Reference first.
OK, the PLL Reference Oscillator
Don,
All three test points are not zeros. TP1 reads a solid 4918.88, TP2 reads
between flickering 267 & 289, TP3 reads all zeros.
The resistance from the source of Q19 to ground is 280 ohms.
I did make an interesting discovery when I took voltages again. U4, pin 5
(SDO) is 0 volts, pin 7
I sent Doug an email about my P3 that is available
P3, P3SVGA and TXMON (2000W) for $800

Don,
While in CAL FCTR, try the probe in TP3 and TP1 and TP2. If you have a
zero reading in all 3 places, you most likely have a bad probe.
Yes you might have a PLL problem, but that is not certain yet. One quick
check is to measure the resistance from the source of Q19 to ground. If
it is

Don,
Thank you for the excellent advice! I went to the bottom of the board and
checked the resistance between the ends of RFC16. It was infinite, so I rewound

Hi, I would like to buy a used P3 panadaptor. Does anyone know of one for sale?
VGA board would be a plus. Please reply privately to drzarko...@yahoo.com.
Thanks, Doug K6JEY

Don,
You apparently have a problem with the thermistor board - or the 8 volts
to it.
A "voltage rail" are those PC traces that carry voltage to various parts
of the circuit.
In the K2, there is one for 12 volts, another for 8 volts and another
for 5 volts.
On the schematic they are labeled
Don,
Board U6 pin 5
Thank you for the suggestions! The DC voltage at RF Board U6 pin 5 is 0 volts.
In fact, all pins of U6, except pin 6, are 0 volts. Pin 6 is less than 1 volt.
I saw a bridge between C96 and RFC10, the schematic shows these two components
connecting together, so that should be
As I recall, most of the K-pod field testers thought the reduced CTS was
beneficial given the placement of the knob.
Of course, they were most all CW contesters who wanted a slower tuning rate.

Don,
First check the DC voltage at RF Board U6 pin 5 - it should be 4 volts
(or 1/2 the 8 volt regulator output voltage). If it is not correct, you
have a problem with the thermistor board - most likely a solder bridge.
You should have 8 volts at the thermistor board pin 8. If that is not
Hi all,
When the K-Pod first came out, it was mentioned that the CTS of the K-Pod was
1/2 of the VFO. That is still the case. Case in point: Set VFO CTS to 200.
K-Pod CTS is only 100.
Could the developers PLEASE write the code to allow the K-Pod to operate at the
same CTS as the VFO?

I tuned into my inv-V with 8 Watt on 3.63 Mhz and
connected a 1 meter wire as antenna on my HP frequency counter.
The counter displayed 3.2177 Mhz ! An offset of approximately .412 Mhz
Still no idea. Waiting on k3support@elecraft...
