[Elecraft] K3 problems keying Alpha 87A

[Dick Green WC1M]

Charlie,

 

I'm using a K3 to drive my 87A, with no problems. What fault are you getting
from the 87A? Does it occur on all bands, or just some or one? How do you
have the K3 cabled to the 87A? I assume you're not using the keying loop,
which is complicated to setup on the K3 and doesn't work properly on the 87A
anyway.

 

73, Dick WC1M

Yesterday I connected my new factory built K3 to my Alpha 87A and the
amplifier keeps going into fault on the first key closure.  Power was only
set at about 30 watts.  Is there a power spike causing this or some other
problem I am not aware of?  I am brand new to this list and am not aware of
previous discussion relating to this issue.  Thanks, Charlie, W0CD
