[Elecraft] K3/KPA-500 Question

2014-03-29 Thread Jim Rogers
I am considering a K3/10 and the KPA-500. Anyone out there using this setup and how much power can you achieve from the KPA-500 with 10W of drive or less? My goal would be 250W on 6 meters for meteor scatter. Jim, W4ATK __

[Elecraft] K2/100 no DSP Menu

2006-07-03 Thread James T. Jim Rogers, W4ATK
When I fired up the K2 today, it was all confused and I had to do a 4-5-6 reset. After the reset I could get no DSP menu so I removed the KDSP and jumpered the audio lines in order to do the CAL FIL. At that time when I pressed the AFIL switch I got a not installed message as I should.
