Talk top Keith who does tech stuff for Elecraft. This started happening after I put my 2M module in... Then I slipped with a screwdriver and shorting a resister so Keith fixed it all for me. Not sure WHY it was throwing High CURR, but he got it all fixed up a couple of years ago.  :) 73

Pete, Connect a dummy load to the K3 (alone) and see if it still has the problem. If the K3 alone is OK, then connect the KAT500 and put the DL on one of the ports - do a TUNE and then try transmitting.  If OK, then try another KAT500 output and repeat. Cables are easily checked by connecting

Suddenly I've begun getting these messages after transmitting, especial;ly on 10 MHz.  Only change in my station is that I added a borrowed KAT-500 tuner to my K-3 while my KPA-1500 was back at Watsonville.   I surmised that the problem might be due to defective cables, so I've been changing th

Problem originated on 6M(affects all bands) when ATU was being used to Tweak SWR from 2.4 to 1.0:1. ATU constantly moved up and down tuning, never resting on 1.0:1Power output was intermittent(100W) would go to zero then back to 100 as ATU was looking for match. Then, HI SWR, RFI scrolls acros

Hello Lee! The HI RFI message is informing you that there is a problem in the station which is resulting in potentially damaging levels of RF being applied to the K3 receiver. This could be due to another transmitting radio's antenna(s) being too close, someone accidentally connecting their tr

If you have been reading the reflector for the past couple of days, the K3 we were using got a HI RFI message on the screen. Yes, the books says that someone is feeding the K3 more RF than it needs in the antenna terminals. The books states 1 or 2 watts is all that it will take. Yes, this is
