P3 SVGA Power Requirements
Locked
 
|
I have read the PDF manual as published at the Elecraft website and
followed the P3SVGA threads here on the reflector am still unsure of the power requirements other than I'll need to connect it to a power source that supplies 700ma and the K3 aux only provides 500ma. So, if I install the P3SVGA do I have to always use the power cord to the non-K3 12vdc power source? In other words, can I turn the P3SVGA board off somewhere in the P3SVGA menu and subsequently use the K3 aux 500ma power supply? I ask because I could envision a situation where I'd like to have the K3&P3 and not necessarily an external monitor and power amp. If the answer is no, then to be clear I would have to remove the P3SVGA board before I could use the K3 aux power outlet again. Is that correct? Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,
When the P3SVGA board is installed the K3's 12V accessory output is right on the edge of being able to supply enough current. We are working on a mod kit for the K3 and should have it available soon. 73, Paul

I have the K3 plugged into the "master" outlet on one of those West Mountain Radio rigrunner strips. And the P3 with the new board is plugged in there as well as a few other things that I only want on with the K3. So...when the K3 gets turned on, the rigrunner senses the current and turns on the rest of the strip.

Hi Chuck,
That will work too. I've got the parts in for the mod kit, once the instructions are completed we'll be able to get these out to all those who want them. -Paul On 4/2/2012 11:20 AM, hawley, charles j jr wrote: > > I have the K3 plugged into the "master" outlet on one of those West Mountain Radio rigrunner strips.
