Continuing Interface Issues with PX3 in mix with KPXA100 and KX3

[Terry]

I have had continuing interfacing issues since I got my PX3.  I originally
had a problem with the KXPA100 not tuning or turning off a few seconds after
turning it on from the KX3 menu with the PX3 in the circuit.  I have triple
checked the connections repeatedly and pressed in the connectors until my
finger hurt.  Most of the time the setup works, but others not.

 

This morning all I did was disconnect the computer interface connector from
the PX3 and plugged it into my KX2 for a long overdue firmware update.  That
went fine.  When I plugged the cable back into the PX3, and I tuned the KX3,
the tuner would tune, the receive sensitivity would go up as expected
showing sig peaks at S9 then would drop back to S2.  It was like the KX3
went deaf.  Before this happens, the Antenna, On, and Auto LEDs are on the
Amp.  When sensitivity drops, the KXPA100 has the TX LED come on and stay on
too.  Once I saw a fault light go on but not now.

 

I have attached the KXPA 100 to the KX3 directly and the KXPA100 works fine
as it should.  I have no idea what is happening, but this flaky behavior has
gone on since I got the PX3 and now, this new problem has arisen.  Very
frustrating.

 

I would appreciate any help I could get for this issue.

 

Thanks so much,

 

Terry
