I think when you switch from the KX3 to the KXPA100 during transmit (by crossing the - I believe - 12w threshold) it also reboots the kx3

I can run any mode with my KX3/PX3/KXPA100 station with no incident except for JT modes; using WSJT-X, I will complete a Tx cycle and randomly the KX3 will bounce (power off/power on.) 9 times out of 10, I'm operating at 3W. I'll sometimes bump to 5. To test this, I have also bumped it to 11 watts to kick the amp in and I get the same reaction; that is, sometimes (but not always) the station just decides it's had enough and the power bounces. Power supply is a Samlex SEC-1223. ALC is within tolerance, MIC BTN is off, it's operating in DATA A and VOX is set on. I'm kind of running out of things to try. Any thoughts? BTW, I am getting out there; PSKReporter shows activity so I'm putting the fire in the wire. It's just this power thing is flakey. -- 73 (or 72 for the QRP folks), Rich Hurd / WC3T Northampton County RACES EPA-ARRL Public Information Officer for Scouting Latitude: 40.761621 Longitude: -75.288988 Grid: *FN20is* 40°45.68' N 75°17.33' W ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
