Thanks to K2AV, I solved my problem with calibrating my K3 TX output. The
problem I was having was due to two things: first, I was using the owner's manual from August 2008 (when I got the rig)...the latest online version is quite different when it comes to TX calibration, and second, I found that the length of coax between the K3 and the pickup made a BIG difference as the frequency increased...changing to a 1-foot length made the difference! >From the pickup to the dummy load, it's only a 1-foot length of RG-214. The help was appreciated. Quite an exercise in frustration! Happy Holidays to all, Bert, N4CW ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
Then that's 2 happy chappies then Bert, for I've fixed 2 of my probs.
1st, had a err pll2 on tx calibration after the full build. Fault in seating of the sub rx!! 2nd, my SPE Expert amp hooked up to the k3 for the first time would not put the amp in tx from the key out socket fixed that but weird, switched off k3 and amp turned back on es hey presto it decided to tx, oh well we live es learn!! Ken..G0ORH Ps....The K3 es SPE expert amp do go well together on the desk!
