[Elecraft] Milliwatt Drive Power for Transverters

2023-05-03 Thread David Hourdequin
I have a Q5 Signal 100W transverter. The required drive power, 1mw, for full transverter output, is set in the “L” range of the K3 XVx PWR config option. When I vary the drive power from 0.1mw to 1.5mw, there is no change in the output power of the transverter indicated by the in-line analog

Tried what you suggested Gary. No joy. The upper limit with the PWR knob remains at 0.8MW. I can adjust downward but not upward. Need to get a good power meter on it and see what the actual output is. And, I’ll try the low-level power calibration process and see what happens. Thanks

Using the Config Menu, I have set the drive level at the maximum for the transverter at 1 MW. However, when I check the drive from the front panel PWR knob it reads 0.8MW and I cannot adjust it any higher with the knob. Nothing I do seems to change the the PWR knob drive level. I am running

Check out the N3FJP ACLogger. It is excellent for general logging plus multiple ’special’ logs including the CQ WPX logger which I ‘assume’ would include all modes. Good luck! David NS4V David R. Hourdequin, PE 828-421-6216 d...@dremy.com www.dremy.com > On Feb 7, 2022, at 12:52 AM,

When I key the mike, my friends hear a hum on my signal that is not there when I use the Heil Proset K2/K3. I hear the same thing when I monitor my signal on the KX3. I’ve checked the connections at both ends and do not see anything amiss. At the mike end, the ground wire is ‘floating’ and
