Re: [Elecraft] K3 ERR KEY message

That message means that for some reason or another. the K3 is detecting a key closure on power up. Check your key and the contact spacing first, and then proceed to anything that may be causing  that message. Don't overlook a stuck PTT switch, which can cause the same message. If all else fails

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Mosfet SD2933 vs VRF2933

Hi Ziv, The SD2933 is an older part - Mouser lists it as 'obsolete' and otherwise unavailable. A review of the datasheets for the two devices (VRF2933, SD2933) reveals that the VRF2933 has a higher drain-source breakdown voltage than the SD2933, and it is tolerant of SWR values up to 70:1. The S

Hi Tim; We have seen the KAT3 circuit board touch the threads on the AUX BNC and short which burns some traces. Check for that, you can put a washer on the mounting stud to lean it away. Also there are some fine traces along the perimeter of the board that are delicate and can easily get cut by

The purpose of the transformer isn't to get anything close to a conjugate match. Doing so would produce a very inefficient PA, and, I suspect, would produce unacceptable levels of distortion (non-linearities in the output impedance would be visible in the signal). The purpose is reduce the de
