K3 SSB on 40M
Locked
 
|
Can't get proper output on 40M SSB. Rig works fine on all other bands. On 40M gives full output on CW but when switched to SSB although the Comp and ALC readings are OK (i.e.as for all other bands) but there is very little RF output. Can't think of anything which is specific to 40M which I have switched on or off. Any ideas please (I don't use SSB much!)?

I had a similar problem with SSB from 30m through 160m. Is your low output only on 40? 73, John, WA6L

Appears to be just 40M. Did you solve your prob? 73 Nick

Nick,
Do you have your CONFIG menu set for per band power? Try turning that off and see if the problem persists. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Thu Aug 28 15:07 , Nick G3RWF sent: > >Appears to be just 40M.

This sounds like exactly the same problem I had. Upgrading from 2.22 to 2.23
solved the problem. Worked fine on cw, and on USB bands but on 40/80 LSB no HP output and next to nothing on LP. I should note that after upgrading the LSB HP problem was fixed but an ATU problem appeared. Redoing the 5 and 50 watt calibration and then the TXMTR GAIN calibration on all bands got the rig to %100 functionality. -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of WA6L Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 3:32 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 SSB on 40M Jack, AE6GC It has been in Aptos for two weeks now. :-( We will see . . .

It occurrs on all bands when ESSB is turned on but the sideband varies. On
40 it's really obvious because low output happens in LSB. On 15m it's not obvious because it happens in USB. Elecraft just told me to install the new firmware which I had already done and to do an alignment via the menu. I'll fiddle with it later but I still think something is fishy.
