Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 on digital modes

I don't believe this is a class C amp. We should discuss the relevance of different classes of operation of amps, and let's be honest... it will be most efficient at max output regardless of class I believe. 73, Bill K9YEQ https://wrj-tech.com/ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun.

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Output Variation

Thank you, Jim. That is more helpful. I use a remote tuner rather than using the built in for matching. Thus my situation would not match yours. I use a 350 loop on 40 meters, thus I would not be helpful in your situation. Using a tube amp is much different in matching versus the solid stat

Re: [Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Output Variation

Seeing a 1.1:1.0 SWR at the amplifier doesn't necessarily mean your antenna is working as you expect. Without getting into details, I am sure others will chime in, your antenna setup is highly suspicious given what you have briefly reported. You didn't indicate antenna type, feedline, feedline

Re: [Elecraft] Windows Update and the K3 USB Audio

Totally agreed. Issues with Win 10 are, in my IT experience, usually user created problems. Yes port assignments can change, even by replugging a usb port. To me this is of little bother, unless I was removing, then would need remote access to correct which isn't that difficult. Bill 920-421

Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 fan won't shut off

Try reloading your saved firmware. Could be an internal error which can happen. Reloading firmware, preferably one you have saved will correct the error. 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ FT’er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100, KAT500, W2, etc. -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On

Re: [Elecraft] Dual Receiver Tricks

lt, that can be done at RF but it definitely requires additional hardware. You can't get there with just the K3 or K4 as is. And none of what you describe would give you a numerical azimuth (or elevation) indication as the original post described. Dave AB7E On 6/25/2019 6:19 PM, Bill John

Re: [Elecraft] Dual Receiver Tricks

Dave, the two receivers fed from two antennas give you what you are looking for at rf level. It works super well. On upper bands I have used SteppIR short vert with dipole. My experience has been excellent vs single antenna. Bill 920-421-1172 From: elecraft-
