(K3) 12VDC Current Mod Kit
Locked
 
|
I'm probably showing off my rapidly thinning hair and lousy eyesight,
but.... I looked at the SMT diode for more than a couple minutes before I realized it was in a tiny blister pack. Then I lost the darn thing. It was stuck to my finger - at least until I moved my hand beyond the desk & happened to see it fall on the floor. My granddaughter helped me find it. The other two parts were quite straightforward.

I readily admit to being lazy, but my inclination would be to just use a
separate power supply instead of going though all the work to use some of the current being supplied by the K3's supply. Or I'd pull it off the P/S directly instead of fooling around with SMT parts and tearing up the radio. Am I missing something? I use the K3 12V jack for my PR6 but have my P3 connected to the power supply that powers other 12V accessories. 73, Jim N7US -----Original Message----- I'm probably showing off my rapidly thinning hair and lousy eyesight, but....

It's choice Jim and there's nothing wrong with yours but Elecraft has, for a
long time, catered to those who like building their own and, from time to time, modifying or improving upon them. In that spirit they continue to offer us a choice. 73, Gary N6LRV -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Jim N7US Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 5:16 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] (K3) 12VDC Current Mod Kit I readily admit to being lazy, but my inclination would be to just use a separate power supply instead of going though all the work to use some of the current being supplied by the K3's supply.

The main advantage of powering the P3 from the K3's DC OUT jack is that
the K3's on/off switch controls both devices. If you always turn off the 12V power supply when you turn off the K3 anyway, then it doesn't matter.

I use one of those rigrunner strips that powers on the other outlets when the K3 draws power.
