Jack;
In my setup, the XV is connected to 12V, but is not "on" until it is
selected by changing the K3 to 2 meters (which, of course, is just what
it won't do.) The KAT500 is normally left on 24/7. I do not use the
"Auto" selection on the KAT500, so it can't surprise me with an unwanted

We call it a "ground plane" antenna.

And, BTW, this was the only way to get home after the clutch bracket
failed and left you connected. You could start in 1st gear, and with
care, do your shifting without the clutch. I'm sure most of us old
timers remember doing that upon occasion!

Reminds me of my first chain saw - I bought a demo, already assembled,
and it didn't cut for beans! Finally noticed the chain was on backwards.

Does this imply that, for RF, the width of the strap is of minimal
importance, and that a 1/4 inch strap is almost as effective as a 1"
strap? It would certainly be less expensive!

Those look like military surplus connectors - they were quite common in

When I built my K3 years ago, the Sub-Rx didn't work. I found I had
plugged the synthesizer module (KSYN3 at that time) into its socket just
one pin off - very hard to see. Corrected it and never looked back.
Fortunately, no damage to the synthesizer in doing this.
So maybe?

If the K3 is in CW mode, the computer may key the rig, but there is no
RF output (unless you hold the key down.) No harm, no foul.

Doug,
The computer will "exercise" the serial port lines when it goes
through its startup diagnostics.
Keep the list as at present. Filter on "Subject = [Elecraft] " will put
the entire list into a file of your choice. If we could get everyone to
include the rig model in their subject line, we could be more specific,
but of course we probably can't do that.

I have sometimes had similar problems. Usually resolved by reloading
the latest configuration file - you did save one?

And the reason you "need" the extra 1000 W is that the others in the
