[Elecraft] KX3 menu problem

Sat Nov 8 07:34:32 EST 2014

>From day one my KX3 has not turned on my KXPA100. I  returned the amp to 
Elecraft and they found nothing wrong with it. It was  suggested that I call 
Elecraft about this. I cannot hear on the phone so I never  called. My 
original menu problem started with the latest firmware. Now I know  why. If I just 
leave the amp switch on then the KX3 menu keeps the PA on. At  least now I 
know what caused the menu problem  73  George/W2BPI

This could happen if the control cable from KX3 to amp were not properly 

connected. On power-up, the KX3 waits several seconds to see if the amp is 

responding, and if not, it sets PA MODE to OFF.
