Hi,
What is the value of the RX attenuator in the K3? At what level does the carrier operated relay protection operate? 73 Ian G0AFH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
the ATTN is 10dB. Not sure where the CORs activate however. I do know
that I've hit them before though.. :) Not sure if this helps you but I do also know that you can get to +20dBm and as long as you have the extreme signal protection mod done to your radio (or it was built after 9/1/2009) before the CORs are activated and your ATT will be automatically engaged to protect the RX post amp. ~Brett (N7MG) On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 12:52 AM, g0afh <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > What is the value of the RX attenuator in the K3? > > At what level does the carrier operated relay protection operate? > > 73 > Ian > G0AFH > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |
Thanks for the link. I recall seeing the wire when I checked to see if
the IF out level mod had been done. 73 Ian On 13/06/2012 10:16, Brett Howard wrote: > If you want to check and be absolutely certain check this document out: > http://www.elecraft.com/K3/mods/K3%20rx%20protection%20mod,%20rev%20B.pdf > > ~Brett (N7MG) > > On Wed, Jun 13, 2012 at 2:14 AM, g0afh <[hidden email] > <mailto:[hidden email]>> wrote: > > Thanks, useful to know. > > I am trying to optimise my 2m system to deal with some > exceptionally strong signals.
