Troubel TX on K3

Karl-Heinz - DL2FAG
Hello,

I   am   running   into some trouble with the K3 after playing around
with the unit (macro, settigs etc.)
After  a while I recognized, that the K3 does not transmit - no output in CW nor
in SSB - even PTT does work.
Tuning  with  the  "TUNE-Button"  works  and  give the adjusted output
power.

Seems  that  maybe I have misconfigured a parameter - but doesn't find
it.

Any  idea  from  the  readers of the refelctors - where I have to look
for?

Thanks

Lieber Karl-Heinz,

First thing to check: Make sure "TX" on right side of display isn't
blinking. If it is, press and hold TEST.

73,

Hank, W6SX

Re: Troubel TX on K3

Hello,

the TX isn't blinking. Have done further test and recognized, that if I chooes the FM-Mode - the Power Output was ok. Seems be the K3 does not work in CW and SSB so far.

As well the TUNE-button is working as well.

Re: Troubel TX on K3

Bob Wolbert-2
Karl,

In the CONFIG menu, are FLTX SB and FLTX CW set to a 2.8 (or 2.7) kHz BW
filter?

Re: Troubel TX on K3

Mark Bayern
When testing CW mode did you have the VOX on? If the answer is NO, try
setting the VOX to ON.

Hi Elliott

Even  with VOX or PTT the same result - no power output in SSB and CW.
In Data Mode - if I push the microphone PTT - a diddle is produced and
I have a power output.

In reply to this post by Karl-Heinz - DL2FAG
I just got my new K3 going this week. I had similar problems. I found using the K3 Utility was an easier, more organized way of defining your filters for the different modes. There are just too many options to perform the programming using Config: (My experience) Also, I ran into the “VOX” not on when CW did not work.

How about biting the bullet and doing a factory reset.  Y'all have saved
a recent configuration, haven't you.

Re: Troubel TX on K3

In reply to this post by Karl-Heinz - DL2FAG
I have followed this thread today, and I haven't seen anyone ask, "Did you
check the POWER setting".  I turned the power down, forgot and had no RF
out.  The ATU worked, and the digital mode, FSK D, tapping the key will
produce 'didles' but no RF power.

Perhaps you did some config or cal functions, turned down the power and
forgot to turn it up again.

Just a thought....

Re: Troubel TX on K3

In reply to this post by Mike Harris
*Mike,

yes it works well, however he has only had the K3 for a week apparently and
the EZ_K3 software has a more visual display off all your preferred
settings such as AGC, filters as well as mic and comp settings etc.

I use both as a matter of double checking in case I get too adventurous
with my fingers which tend to totally disobey my brain...which also has a

Re: Troubel TX on K3

In reply to this post by Karl-Heinz - DL2FAG
Hello

the  problem  is  solved  - the problem has been raised not due to any
configsetting and macros - it was my cat, which was walking behind the
radio.  And over her "cable-walk"  she has removed parts of the cables
between the different units.
So  after  I  replaced  and  secured  all  cable again - everything is
working well again.

So finally I put up a "Cat-Stop-note" at the shack-table, hihi

Thanks everybody for their hints...

Re: Troubel TX on K3

Yes, cats seem to like walking behind Elecraft gear - so many cables to play with!
Mine even managed to pull the power cord off the KPA500 during a QSO...
But maybe it was not fully plugged in (mitigating circumstances for the cat!)

I had a cat who would bite telepne cables and computer mouse cables in
two if she felt you weren't giving her proper attention.  Beware!

One mine used to like to sleep on top of the heat sink for the K2/100.
I've got a photo somewhere.

Re: Cables and Animals

In reply to this post by Dunc Carter - W5DC
At an army radar tracking installation, we invited in a stray cat
because mice were continually eating through cables, nesting in tape
drive bays, zapping themselves, and of course causing (smelly!) problems
for us afterward.  The cat must have been well fed with the mice because
it never contributed to the chewed cables.  :-)
