Re: [Elecraft] When Transmitting on FT8 - KPA500 has issues - KD8ZYD

Andy, That appears to be a TS-590/HDSDR problem and not a KPA500 problem. You can likely get more support from th TS-590 and HDSDR forums than from us on the Elecraft reflector. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/2/2019 10:19 PM, Andy Durbin wrote: "In my case HDSDR sound output had spontaneously changed to

Re: [Elecraft] The ERR 12V Message Question

First, check all power connections.   And if your radio is powered through a DC distribution strip, my suggestion is to not use the strip for the radio power.   In other words, connect the radio power cable direct to the power supply.    Also shorten the power cable to be more convenient and ha

[Elecraft] KPA1500 PSU FAN ISSUE RESOLVED

The squealing PSU fan issue was so bad, I didn't turn the KPA1500 on for many months.  When I finally did, the squeal was gone.  Since it did not turn up on burn-in, I can only guess that some jostling in shipping did something.  After hours of running it has not come back.  Better yet, with the

Re: [Elecraft] The ERR 12V Message Question

That issue went away for me when I switched to a shorter heavier power cord. How long/what gauge is your present power cable? Running 10 watts shouldn't present a problem, not much current draw so not much loss in the cable/connector. Dennis NJ6G On 7/2/2019 18:07, Joseph M. Durnal wrote: I

[Elecraft] The ERR 12V Message Question

I'm not sure if I am experiencing the KPA3 power connector issue or not. I've gotten the ERR 12V message twice today. Powering the K3 off and on again will clear the message, but it came back, but cleared again after a power cycle. And, as I type this while transmitting some FT8 in the backgroun

I’m going to try and answer all the questions that have shown up in this thread. I really appreciate all the ideas and things to check. I do have a day job (7 years to go) so I only have time to play with this at night and try and debug. I drive my KPA 500 with somewhere between 20 and 25 watt

I've found that all USB cables are not created equal.  Some are apparently better shielded than others.   I tried and replaced 3 or 4 different ones / brands / lengths, in the same location and configuration {between my K3S and my laptop} before I found one that did not cause the WSJT-X softwar

In my experience, radio amateurs behave like the general public with respect to intellectual property; they generally only respect property rights in physical objects. They'll copy magazine articles without paying royalties to publisher, play videos at clubs in spite of the home use only warni
