No worries about that. Ease your mind, that is normal, but only seen when the ambient light is VERY low. 73, Don W3FPR Schindele, William wrote: > On a new build KX1 last night I noticed that when the LED went off as > designed, there was a faint outline of "88" in the first two digits. I > had

[Elecraft] KX1 LED Display Issue

2010-06-17 Thread Schindele, William
On a new build KX1 last night I noticed that when the LED went off as designed, there was a faint outline of "88" in the first two digits. I had not noticed this prior, but it was the first time I had used the KX1 in a very dark environment. I could set the LED to three levels as designed, the shut

Jason, Not to worry - it has always been that way, and all of them will do that too. The uP lines that drive the LED display are shared with other functions, and even after the LED is 'blanked', these other functions will still be active and the LED segments will have a bit of a 'glow' to them

Hey guys, Quick question... I noticed that after the LED goes out after displaying the frequency, some of the segments are still lit, but very faint. It does not affect the radio in any way, but I was just curious to why this happens. Thanks Jason N8XE __

Al, Not a lot you can do other than to devise some sort of shade to keep the direct sunlight off the LED. If it is not a frequent requirement, shading it with your palm long enough to see the frequency may be enough. Of course working in the shade is always more comfortable - at least at my

[Elecraft] KX1 LED noise

2007-05-29 Thread Norm Havercroft
I am experiencing a static like noise level when the LED is lit. The noise is significant enough to cover up any weak signal. I almost have to tune, wait for it to time out and see if anyone is there. It doesn't occur on all frequencies, it is random. Sometimes on 80M, I have noise when the L
