No Power Output
Locked
 
|
Hello everyone,
as of last evening, my K3 is no longer indicating any power output on the RF meter during transmit. I've tried both PTT and VOX, as well as 2 different antennas. (dipole & beam) When selecting "ATU TUNE", I see the RF meter go to 5W as expected, but the SWR indicator above only displays "- -". I've gone through all the settings and they look correct. The PWR knob is fully clockwise, I'm not in test mode, etc., etc. I've sent an email to Elecraft but I thought I'd check here as well to see if anyone has seen this behavior. Thanks, - Bill KB1PXD |

Bill,
Had the same thing once. Reloaded the firmware and that solved the problem here. 73 Arie PA3A -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] Namens KB1PXD Verzonden: zondag 22 maart 2009 15:07 Aan: [hidden email] Onderwerp: [Elecraft] [K3] No Power Output Hello everyone, as of last evening, my K3 is no longer indicating any power output on the RF meter during transmit.

Thanks for the quick response Arie. I tried upgrading
my firmware from 2.67 to 2.78 but I'm still seeing the same results. (RF meter remains at 0 when transmitting) - Bill

I apologize if this sounds like I am suggesting the obvious,
but you didn't happen to accidentally put it in "test" mode did you? Press and hold the right side of the mode button to return to "operating" mode. Just a thought.
