Another question about the KX3

[Joshua Gould, K8WXA]

If I have a station tuned on VFO A and I want to use VFO B to monitor
another frequency, how do I listen to the audio side of the VFO B?  I've
tried truning on dual rx and messed with the AFX menu and have noticed no
audio from VFO B.  Is there something that I'm missing or am I trying to
make the radio do something that it can't do?

Hi Joshua,

Both DUAL RX and the KX3's audio effects (like simulated stereo, and pitch mapping) require the use of the headphone jack, i.e. either stereo headphones or dual external speakers. The other requirement is that VFO A and B not be separated by more than +/- 15 kHz.

If DUAL RX is turned on but the SUB icon is flashing, it means the above requirements are not currently being met.

I believe it is supposed to do dual receive, but you have to use stereo headphones. VFO A in one ear, VFO B in the other. I have not done it and I think something has to be enabled in the menu.
I think I remember reading it in the manual. ???

Guess I spoke out of line, didn't see the other post until until I sent mine on its way. Sorry Wayne.
