I have reached out to Elecraft support, and they have acknowledged, but they let me know it may be a week or more before their amp team can reply. I have damaged components in the LPF portion of the KPA500 PA/LPF Assembly - E870018. Does anyone have any details of how that assembly is put

[Elecraft] K3S and PC Not talking

2021-07-09 Thread Jim Cary

[Elecraft] KAT500 80 meter anomaly

2021-07-09 Thread Andy Durbin
"Is there a Command that would help to alleviate this behavior? Or a way to tell the KAT500 to ignore one or more of its preset frequencies that are causing issues?" How are you telling your KAT500 what frequency to use. CAT, Counter, or both? Is you KAT500 in MAN or AUTO mode? If you are
