FIXED: P3 not showing anything
Locked
 
|
This post was updated on .
Today I went about upgrading my K3S with the KBPF3 board and a 6khz filter.
I moved all my filters down one slot and put the 6khz filter in the first slot. I installed the KBPF3 board, turned it on in the config etc. I then went to the K3 utility and configured my filters, all seemed to go well. I turned the radio on after connecting all the cables and the pan adapter does not show any signals. It is getting frequency information and changes as I move the dial. I have the cable connected into IF OUT on the radio and IF IN on the P3, and I have tried both of the serial cables that came with the radio. Connection to the computer works, the radio itself boots with no errors, but nothing shows on the panadapter. See video attached for any help. https://youtu.be/Md3ILmdJLDI Thanks in advance for any help.

Andy,
This may be a dumb question, but did you reconnect your antenna feed line? I can't tell you how many times I've made that mistake. :-) 73 de, Ian, KM4IK On Oct 15, 2017 3:51 PM, "NB8F" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Today I went about upgrading my K3S with the KBPF3 board and a 6khz filter. > I moved all my filters down one slot and put the 6khz filter in the first > slot.

I did. In the video, it shows me receiving a CW signal. I can receive and
transmit fine on both of my antennas. I have been listening to the PA QSO Party all afternoon as well. For whatever reason it still doesn't show any signals on the P3. -Andy On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 5:11 PM, Ian Kahn <[hidden email]> wrote: > Andy, > > This may be a dumb question, but did you reconnect your antenna feed line? > I can't tell you how many times I've made that mistake. :-) > > 73 de, > > Ian, KM4IK > > On Oct 15, 2017 3:51 PM, "NB8F" <[hidden email]> wrote: > >> Today I went about upgrading my K3S with the KBPF3 board and a 6khz >> filter. >> I moved all my filters down one slot and put the 6khz filter in the first >> slot.

NOTE I have also tried removing everything in-line and just having the
antenna, radio and P3 connected. I also tried removing the new board, but I did not try removing the 6khz filter. This all worked fine before today. ----- NB8F - Andy Elecraft K3S - #11282 / KX2 - #1791 Elecraft owner since June 2017 Ham since March 2015 -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email]

Andy,
Do you have another receiver? If so, connect it to the K3 IF OUT. If you hear signals, then the K3 is working fine, look at the P3 for the problem. OTOH, if you do not hear signals, review the work you have done - was a cable left unplugged inside the K3 or other "silly" stuff like that. The IF takeoff is before the roofing filters, but the BPF3 is before the IF takeoff. Check your work with the KBPF3 installation. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/15/2017 5:16 PM, NB8F wrote: > NOTE I have also tried removing everything in-line and just having the > antenna, radio and P3 connected. > > I also tried removing the new board, but I did not try removing the 6khz > filter.

Tested the cable and shield to shield, showed 0, pin to pin showed 0 and pin
to shield showed 1. The cable appears to be OK. ----- NB8F - Andy Elecraft K3S - #11282 / KX2 - #1791 Elecraft owner since June 2017 Ham since March 2015 -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email]

Thanks Don, I decided to take a look again at the inside of the radio.
Re-seated all the cards and then took the bottom off. Guess what, that single cable that attaches to the bottom of the board was disconnected, probably from when I was putting the filter in. I connected that up and all is right with the world again. Thanks for all the help and always remember to check that cable on the bottom of the radio :) On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 5:31 PM, Don Wilhelm <[hidden email]> wrote: > Andy, > > Do you have another receiver?

Congratulations to your having found the cause.
I have experienced similar but from different cause, which was unstable connection inside the IF interface cable supplied with P3. After replacing the coaxial cable with my home made one, my P3 started working perfectly again. 73 de JH3SIF, Keith Kiichiro (Keith) Onishi Sent from iPad 2017/10/16 0:53、Andrew Holman <[hidden email]> のメッセージ: > Thanks Don, I decided to take a look again at the inside of the radio. > Re-seated all the cards and then took the bottom off.
