[Elecraft] KXPA100 with PX3

[rsoifer1 at aol.com]

Further to my last email, when I am in Basic mode, with PA MODE set to OFF and the KXPA100 on/off switch set to ON, I get full power out and no dissipation.  When PA MODE is ON and the on/off switch set to OFF, the KX3 acts like the KXPA100 is connected to it but there is no power output from the KXPA100 but all the power it produces is being dissipated.  Some setting is probably wrong, but I can't figure out which one.


Any ideas?

You may simply have the power set too low (below 11W) for the KXPA100 to turn on.
