KX3 menu problem
Locked
 
|
I am using KX3 with the KXPA100 Amp. Lately when I turn the KX3 off and
then back on the menu shows PA OFF and I have to reset it to on. Then I also must turn the power setting back up to 100 watts. Any one else seen this problem. I have the latest firmware installed. 73 George/W2BPI ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

This could happen if the control cable from KX3 to amp were not properly connected. On power-up, the KX3 waits several seconds to see if the amp is responding, and if not, it sets PA MODE to OFF.

Do you have a PX3?
I was having problems like this until I spoke with Elecraft, and they had me keep the PX3 off until I kicked on the KX3, which then successfully powered on the KXPA100, at which point I power up the PX3 and everything works as intended. Something about passing through the control signals. I forget what firmware revisions I was on, I've made it a habit now so no idea if that's still the process.

From day one my KX3 has not turned on my KXPA100. I returned the amp to Elecraft and they found nothing wrong with it. It was suggested that I call Elecraft about this. I cannot hear on the phone so I never called. My original menu problem started with the latest firmware. Now I know why. If I just leave the amp switch on then the KX3 menu keeps the PA on. At least now I know what caused the menu problem 73 George/W2BPI _Wayne Burdick_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=elecraft@...&q=from:"Wayne+Burdick") _Fri, 07 Nov 2014 17:59:44 -0800_ (http://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=elecraft@...&q=date:20141107) This could happen if the control cable from KX3 to amp were not properly connected.
