Thanks to Keith and Grant, it made me dig into the depths of Gmail. I enabled viewing of the Spam folder, off by default it seems, and set a filter to be sure anything from the reflector or me is not sent to the spam folder. Hopefully I will see this one back in due course. Thanks Martin, HS0Z

[Elecraft] K3 LPA failure, again

Hi, So I had some success in fixing this and thought I would write it up here briefly for future reference. Short version C6 on the K3REF module had become a 12 ohm resistor. Longer version Finding the 7T line only going to 3.5 volts or so was suspicious. Measuring the resistance to ground o

Good Evening,    The seasons are progressing rapidly.  Only a few days into autumn with frost a day away.  Even though I have a few grasshopper tendencies mostly I'm an ant.  Multiple piles of wood just need to get to the house.  When the frost knocks down most of the ferns I can find them.

[Elecraft] KXBT2 Battery Connector

Could someone tell me the correct size of the coaxial power plug on the KXBT2 battery? The KX2 manual indicates the plug is a Switchcraft #S760 (2.1mm aperture, 5.5mm diameter.) I bought some genuine Switchcraft parts and they will plug into the sockets on the radio itself but they do not fit into

Conrad, I had the same problem a few years ago when I placed my Alpha 9500 on the left side of my K3S.  After much perturbation, I finally figured what the issue was.  The power supply for the Alpha 9500 is on the right side of the Amp, and the isolation transformers for the line in and line out

[Elecraft] K3 LPA failure, again

2019-09-28 Thread Martin Sole
Hi, Might have been a bad choice of title! Indications are the 7T transmit bias line is faulty somewhere. 7R is normal, 6.8-6.9 volts, but the transmit 7T line is very low, around 3.8 volts. I suspect this is the cause of no power out anywhere as the signal switching is not working. The 7T li

Hi, About 18 months ago both Q4 and Q5 the output devices in the LPA of my early K3 failed. I suspect this was partly my fault, trying to drive an amp known to take off and be generally unstable. I replaced the transistors and though at the time I had no hard and fast bias setting data the ra

Good morning Conrad, do you have the possibility to check the signal on an SDR or spectrum analyzer with sufficient resolution. That might be helpful to determine the origin of the noise and hence countermeasures. 73/Roger, DL5RBW -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net
