[Elecraft] KX-3 2 Meters, No power output

[David Anderson]

Bill, 

I have noticed your postings on this matter for sometime and am surprised that nobody has replied (at least publicly). Unfortunately I do not have the internal 2m transverter for my KX3 so cannot  help you. It does sound like a hardware problem doesn't it? Not having installed one, I am unaware of the complexities and if there are any particular points to watch out for.

Have you attempted to contact Elecraft support directly either by email or telephone? I hear that they are excellent and would be able to guide you better.

There were a number of beta testers of the 2m module, I am surprised none of them has chipped in with a little help.  Can anyone help Bill?

Hope that you get this resolved and do let us know the solution.

> I've carefully followed the 2 meter module installation instructions and firmware settings, loaded the latest software as of Friday AM (and again) and cannot measure 2 meter RF at the SMA connector using verified coax and VHF SWR bridge. The power control displays 3 watts but the 'tune' mode displays .1 watt (?).    CW, FM, SSB RF does not register on the VHF SWR/Power meter (10 watt setting) however I can hear my CW/FM/SSB signal in a nearby receiver.  Receive works fine and all modes on HF work fine.  I'm anxious to get this going for the VHF contest.
