HI all…
My K3 suffered some EMP damage from a recent T storm… I’ve found L4 on the KIO3 remote IO board open with evidence of heating on it….not sure what else may have been nuked. If I turn on the radio with the KIO3 in the radio boots up but then switches between TX and RX about 1/ sec … everything else seems normal. If I try to connect via RS232 it just goes into TX … If I pull the board all appears functionally normal. Has anyone experienced this similar issue when the IO gets damaged? Does anyone have a spare KIO3 board that they may have pulled and saved when upgrading to the USB IO set up, or any suggestions as to what else may be damaged , like U1 ? Thanks in advance 73 Dana VE3DS Toronto ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [hidden email] |
