K3 QRP output power level
Locked
 
|
Hello all,
I am confused about the output level of the K3. What is the output power level of the 10 Watt version of the K3?. Is it the same on all bands? Do I have to reduce the output below 10 watts to avoid poor transmit intermod on SSB? I am asking this because I use my present K2 QRP radio to feed a modified Toyko HP amplifier and I sure would like to get the same power output when I use a QRP K3. Any comments?

The owner's manual spec page says that the output power of the 10-watt
version of the K3 is anywhere from 0.1 to 12 Watts. The power output of the K3 can be remembered per band if you choose the "PER-BAND" value of the K3 config menu "PWR SET" setting. In "NOR" the power level on each band follows the present setting of the power control. See page 55 of the K3 owner's manual revision D-1.

K3 Subreceiver ANT selection doesn't work - always uses the AUX antenna
|
|
Hi,
I've just installed my KRX3. All went okay. Although I do have a KAT3 installed, I chose the subreceiver's alternative antenna to be the BNC one. If I've understood correctly, pressing BSET followed by ANT allowes me to switch the subreceiver's input between the main receiver's antenna and the BNC antenna. But, irrespective of whether I've selected MAIN or AUX, the subreceiver always uses the AUX antenna. Any clues as to what could be wrong? 73, Frank PA4N --- drs. ing. F.R.

Rich,
The K3 output power is equal to or greater than the K2, so you should not have a problem. In addition, the K3 offers the ability to remember a power setting for each band, and that would likely be helpful when driving your amplifier. 73, Don W3FPR Richard Haendel wrote: > Hello all, > > I am confused about the output level of the K3.

In your config menu, did you set KRX3 ANT=BNC? When you press BSET
ANT, do you see the displayed antenna change to AUX? 73, Barry N1EU >I've just installed my KRX3. All went okay.

Sorry, I missed the fact that it's the MAIN antenna that won't connect to your subreceiver. I assume you alternately see "MAIN" and "AUX" displayed when you toggle the BSET ANT switch and even when "MAIN" is displayed, you're certain that you are listening to the AUX antenna. I'm not sure what the issue is, other than a faulty relay or a mistake in the internal cabling. 73, Barry N1EU |

I believe I was caught with this situation myself. After you have turned on
the Subreceiver I believe you press BSET followed by the ANT switch until it shows ANT 1 which, I assume, is your main antenna. I believe I also set the configuration menu KRX3 to ANT = BNC followed by a power off and on cycle before I pressed BSET followed by the ANT switch.

In reply to this post by Frank R. Oppedijk
In addition to using BSET, did you also check the configuration menu entry
for KRX3 to be sure it is set to ANT=BNC? That, along with using BSET and then the ANT switch to be sure it is using antenna number one, which I assume is what you are using for your main transmit receive antenna, should do the trick.

Barry,
Thanks for your suggestions. Indeed, when I toggle BSET ANT I see "MAIN" and "AUX" alternately. You mention a possible faulty relay. Should there be an audible relay click when toggling BSET ANT I between "MAIN" and "AUX"? When I do that, there is no relay click whatsoever... 73, Frank PA4N At 16:18 24/12/2008, Barry N1EU wrote: >Frank R. Oppedijk wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > I've just installed my KRX3.

Yes, there is definitely an audible mechanical click of a relay when you toggle between AUX and MAIN antenna for the subreceiver. 73, Barry N1EU |

The antenna switch is in the KAT3. If you connect the BNC rather than the coax to the tuner the switching function is not in the circuit. The switching as it is designed appears to me to be only for the two SO239 connectors. I installed my BNC connector, but connected the coax that goes to the KAT3. An option that allows any of the three connectors to be connected by a menu function would be welcomed by me but is not available at this time as far as I can determine.

Barry,
Thanks for your information. Is the mechanical click when switching between MAIN and AUX also if you have the CONFIG KRX3 set to ANT=BNC, or only when using ANT=ATU ? According to Willis 'Cookie' Cooke, K5EWJ, the switching is in the KAT3 only, and the KAT3 is of course out of the circuit when using the BNC connector as the subreceiver's aux antenna input...

I hear a click when KRX3 in CONFIG is set to either ATU or BNC.
BTW, you do not need to use BSET and then ANT to change between Main and AUX for the sub receiver. You can do it with a HOLD of the RX ANT button too. 73 and Merry Christmas Greg AB7R On Dec 24, 2008, at 2:53 PM, Frank R.

If you study the document at http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3_Antenna_Routing.pdf you'll clearly see that the switching of K1 (Main/Aux) has nothing to do with KAT3. KAT3 only switches between Ant1/Ant2, which doesn't concern you. 73, Barry N1EU |
Re: K3 Subreceiver ANT selection doesn't work - always uses the AUX antenna

Thanks to all people who responded on and off-list to my questions.
I've looked at the K3 schematics and have come to the conclusion that the problem most probably is that the digital signal driving the subreceiver's MAIN/AUX relay isn't arriving at the subreceiver. I'm going to check the subin ans subout boards to see whether all pins are connected okay. Merry christmas to everybody! 73, Frank PA4N At 01:15 25/12/2008, Barry N1EU wrote: >Frank R.

Hi Frank:
I think I have your answer. Try this. Turn the SUB on Don't press BSET Hold RX ANT You should alternately see MAIN and AUX as you hold the RX ANT button. Now hold BSET. When the display changes it will tell you which antenna is on your sub receiver. It will be either MAIN or AUX as you left it when you changed it with BSET off. Maybe it's a bug in the code. The sub antenna can be changed from the main display only not from the BSET display. 73, Mike K2MK > Re: [Elecraft] K3 Subreceiver ANT selection doesn't work - always uses the > AUX antenna > Frank R.

The sub antenna can definitely be changed from the BSET display by toggle pushing the ANT button. 73/MX, Barry N1EU |

Hi Barry:
Yes I just re-read Frank's original posting. I was using the wrong button. Thanks for the clarification. I just confirmed that on my K3 the RX ANT button changes the sub receiver antenna when in the main display and the ANT button changes the sub receiver button when in the BSET display. So Frank's problem in BSET is unique to his K3.
