Re: [Elecraft] Kpa1500 PSU orientation?

2018-04-04 Thread Torrey Mitchell
After discussing it with Elecraft, I keep my KPA-1500 PS front panel down. I place a small book between the front panel and the floor of my shack. This prevents any pressure on the three green lights protruding a little from the panel. This configuration allows full ventilation access and facilita

My #52 KPA-1500 power supply is placed front panel down on a small book on the floor rug to protect the protruding LED lights. It is placed about 3.5' away from my left ear with the top of the PS facing away from me. The result is that I can barely hear the PS fans and often forget that the KP

[Elecraft] Transmit audio frequency shift on USB?

2011-07-25 Thread Torrey Mitchell
I'm having a ball with my newly assembled K3! I was on the air (USB, 14.170) this weekend trying to fine tune my audio equalization. Two gentlemen told me I sounded great. However my audio was smoothest 30-50 Hz above my operating frequency. They are both audiophiles. My RIT was OFF. One based

[Elecraft] K3 Transmit ALC characteristics

2011-08-09 Thread Torrey Mitchell
The K3 manual says to set your mic gain so the ALC meter hits about 5 with occasional peaks to 7 while using a normal speaking voice.i.e. keep it within the ALC brackets below the meter. I'm using a Heil PE-781 microphone with a wind screen. The ALC kicks up to the recommended range beginning wit
