Big Oops on KRX3

Somehow I broke the connector J92. The center pin broke flush with the
board while I was inserting the coax connector.

What is my next move?

I thought that line was needed only if I want to use the external BNC
connector for "receive only" on the sub-receiver. However, I seem to have
no signal in the KRX-3 --- S meter zero, just noise. There is somthting
about this I don't understand.

I am prepared to do without the BNC connector option. How do I get the
sub-receiver working? Is there something I have setup wrong?

Did you follow the manual section on "Sub Receiver Antenna Selection" ?

Broken J92 shouldn't matter if you don't want to use the AUX BNC input.

Hello Brian,

Be sure that you run the auxiliary KSYN3 procedure, as specified in the
"Preparing for Operation" section of the manual (pg. 43 of my manual). If
you don't, you'll experience just what you describe. You can probably
guess how I happen to know that ;-)

That did it! I completely skipped that step. Thank you!

Now I have to solve an XMIT problem, and all will be well with the world.
