[Elecraft] KPA500 P command not working from RPI and node red, any ideas?

My Arduino controller sends P. Upper case P with no leading caret and no trailing semi-colon. It transitions my KPA500 from "powered but off" to "powered and on" as long as the baud matches. It's part of my power manager (If power manger needs KPA500 to be in OPER mode, but it is off, it turn

Hello Elecrafters, while we are all waiting for the arrvial of the next beauty, I started to think what's to improve on my K3 meanwhile. I realized I have always missed a means to adjust knob friction while tuning. So I sat down and did the construction and printing (and some iterations of that) a

Thanks to K6XX for solving this problem with a huge power output surge on certain bands while driving with the K3.  With the proper drive level set on a new band the first dit would display a huge surge over 1900w, then settle down to normal over 2-3 seconds.  This would happen again if the dri

[Elecraft] Shipping trick to islands....

When we lived and worked in Grenada we found out the following: All parcels USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL went through PR. UPS had theft problems, where the tracking would show items disappearing. Especially high value things such as professional colour laser printers. DHL and USPS were expensive.

And also USVI. I shipped a tribander to myself in St. Croix for a contest and then shipped it back using Priority mail. It was less expensive than extra oversized luggage and there were no customs issues. You can also use standard USPS Flat Rate Boxes to these destinations. John KK9A - WP

[Elecraft] FT8 WITH K3 AND STATIONMASTER

I run my k3 with a microham stationmaster (SM)and the USB port on the SM is hooked to the computer while the CAT port is hooked to the RS 232 on the K3. For FT-8 will my audio cables go from the computer to the K3 or will the SM handle all that through the USB connection. 73¹s Greg N9GB ___

I lived in Hawaii for 14 years and can attest that USPS is the best bargain you’re going to get for shipping to 49 & 50, as well as Puerto Rico. No special handling…no special considerations... One caveat I will mention is that you will want to avoid using “parcel post” at the post office, at l

Jerry, I too can state that 1st class or priority mail to Alaska and Hawaii is the same as the lower 48. You can also ship to Puerto Rico for the same cost. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/21/2020 8:15 PM, w...@jetbroadband.com wrote: Greetings all, Doing some end of the year clearing out o

Hi Pat; What are the results of the 5w TX gain calibration running the K3 Utility? The LPAs are somewhat interchangeable, they don't always make full power in some cases. In any case, you MUST run the TX gain cal if you swap modules, so run it now and it should reveal problems. Keith WE6R Elecr

Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 DC Connector Failure

I would certainly stop using it until you find the problem. Could be that one or both of the contacts on either the cable or amp has lost its temper and is not making a solid contact. Would tend to get very hot and possibly cause further damage if not fixed. On Tue, Dec 22, 2020, 00:11 Dave wrote
