Re: P3 freezes
Locked
 
|
I have a more or less fully loaded K3 with the synthesizer upgrades. The K3 was gone through at the factory and appears to be running well.
I have a P3 that also has the SVGA card and the transmit monitor add on. On a number of occasions my P3 seems to freeze and fails to move with tuning as I turn the tuning knob. Before I call Elecraft for guidance I wonder if anyone has any suggestions.

My goal was to get that to happen. There are already appliances to do so. The MFJ 998 is both an in shack and also a remote device as well. I use the in shack model which I operate remotely. I think that is not the profitable route for elecraft at the moment. They could chew up competition, but not a good pursuit given all the challenges of production and parts issues. Please, understand that I have not insight, nor a clue of Elecrafts inside operation.

IMHO, It’s the missing Elecraft option. 73, Jeff/wb0m Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 00:46:46 -0400 From: Julia Tuttle <[hidden email] <mailto:[hidden email]>> "Elecraft's ATUs are generally wider range than other manufacturers', I thought, and that comes at a parts cost that everyone might not want to pay.

I travel with my computer and connect it to my K3 (upgraded)
every time I go on the air. The last time I started operating, I noticed that my P3 did not know the frequency the K3 was using. I then noticed that I hadn't plugged the USB connection between the K3 and the computer into the computer. I plugged it in and everything worked again. I think this may have been because the K3 needs to be polled in order to send the frequency data. (There is a menu option to automatically send the frequency data. I am away from the radio so I can't check how it is set on my K3.) Hooking the radio to my computer let the logging program provide the polling. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/8/21 at 10:15 PM, [hidden email] (George Thornton) wrote: >I have a more or less fully loaded K3 with the synthesizer >upgrades.
