Brian e al, I too believe that is the case, because I have noticed that when I change bands the ramp up occurs. When that occurs I send DE N5GE QRL ? and after that I get full output. This is especially noticeable on the MARS frequencies I operate on. Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime M

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

You may be right. I do lots of S&P which more often than not includes a band change. Perhaps it is the band change effect I'm seeing. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 6/2/2012 15:48, N5GE wrote: > > My experience is that once the power has been managed as Don say's, there is > no > more ramp-up. I use on

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

Hi Brian, The problem you described after band changes or power level changes is ABSOLUTELY a function of the TX gain setting. But the automatic setup through the K3 utility might not solve the problem for you. In that case you have to do a manual adjust. I had to do this on two bands for my ampli

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

My experience is that once the power has been managed as Don say's, there is no more ramp-up. I use only CW and after the ramp-up the first dit is at full output. I'm using the KPA500 here. Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member On Sat, 02 Jun 2012 15:21:31 +

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

Guys, I may be imagining things, but this effect seems to always be there with my K3. My perception is that it is not just limited after band changes or power level changes. It is especially evident when running a big amp that has a fast display of output power. Where it may matter is in con

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

What Roy says is true. The K2 and K3 use a closed control loop to adjust power output. It starts out at low power after a power on or a band change or a change in the power requested - the actual output power is measured and compared to the power requested, and the drive is adjusted until the

[Elecraft] Problems with Power Output

I do not believe there is anything wrong with either K2s or K3s that do not put out a full 100 watts on the first SSB syllable. I have built two K2s and two K3s, and the ALC action is very similar on all of them. Save your time trying to do another transmit calibration. I don't think it will

FM or SSB or CW? Are you transmitting and listening on the right filters? Is the NB on? NR on? Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net On 4/22/2012 9:22 AM, N5GE wrote: > What do mean when you say the signals are not clear? > > Are they distorted? Are they weak? Are they off frequency? > > T

Re: [Elecraft] Problems with receiving and tranmitted signals on 2 meters

What do mean when you say the signals are not clear? Are they distorted? Are they weak? Are they off frequency? Try a more specific description of what you mean by "not clear". Also, describe what "several things" means. Tell us what those things are that you tried. Did you install the 2m m

[Elecraft] Problems with receiving and tranmitted signals on 2 meters

We gave a new k3 with the 2 meter module built in. When listening and transmitting on 2 meters, our signal is not clear. We have tried several things to correct the problem, but it is still present. We gave removed and checked for bad cables, etc. but to no avail. The problem seems to now be in
