[Elecraft] PX3 Questions

[John Lally]

I just received the PX3 kit.  It was rather straight forward to assemble and
to set up.  I am learning how to operate the PX3.  I have two questions.

 

1.         Configuring the power switch,  page 22.  Pins 2 & 3:  "The PX3
turns on automatically when power is applied and may be turned off and off
using the PWR switch as long as power is applied".  I find that the PX3 does
not automatically turn on when power is applied. I need to manually turn on
the PX3 by pressing the PWR switch after power is supplied.  Does anyone
have a solution to this problem?

 

2.         PX3 Utility.  The capture screen function does not work.  When I
press the capture image button in the utility program, the PX3 freezes and
the KX3A100 turns off.  I have remove power from the PX3 and I have to reset
the PA Mode in the KX3 menu back to on.  Does anyone have any thoughts on
this issue?

 

Thank you.
