[Elecraft] RFI issues with Keurig Dual Pro 5200

2020-02-23 Thread John Perlick
Hello all: I am wondering if this new model for Keurig has an SCR chopper to regulate temp in the heater coils? Something changed...if I had one, I would take it into the lab to figure outn what went wrong. Have full FCC EMI test capability--could find out if they are failing in a snap!

and there are noise sources everywhere! Even in the K3. I had birdies in my Icom 781, my WJ 8711’s and my K3. They were/are all below the atmospheric noise level. Never a problem! My PL noise was far worse. Good topic, Bill! John Perlick Aria Corporation www.ariacorp.com > On Ju

[Elecraft] KPA1500 Fan Noise

2018-06-03 Thread John Perlick
Every amplifier has some level of fan noise. My new KPA1500 is seriously quieter than my former Expert 2KFA. My Henry 2K Ultra fans were so loud that I couldn't keep it in the radio room. Luckily I had the remote version. My Harris RF-3230 (all solid state) had 8 six-inch muffin fans! It

Bill Schmidt is right--you have to get rid of a bunch of heat--no matter what device you are using to amplify (tubes, transistors, or magic). The amplifying device must dissipate considerable heat because we are running Class AB and because of all electronic devices are naturally lossy.

I love the backlight color on my K3/K3S and KX3. I also love my new KPA1500. But, why oh why did you change to a blue backlight on the KPA1500? Dang, I love that amber color--reminds me of that faded amber color of those old radios, like my RME-45 that I had before my Novice days. Let me

Re: [Elecraft] [P3] Ability to copy very weak signals

2016-11-28 Thread John Perlick
There are several factors that make this technique insufficient to "measure" your ears. The K3 splits the incoming signal path and sends part of the signal to the P3 and part to the K3 receive circuitry. The split occurs just after the first mixer so the P3 is sampling a wideband signal
