K3 Assistance Requested

[w8jj]

I don't where to start.  I have a K3 that is nearly loaded and I decided to
add a couple of more options.  I installed the KDVR3 and KXV3A in
preparation for a P3 in the near future. I activated both units via the
CONFIG menu and the KDVR3 was recognized. I was able to do the calibration
of the KXV3A using the utility software and it checked okay at all three
power levels.  I made a couple of contacts and all seemed well.

Here is were it gets weird... I noticed that the SUB RX would no longer
work independently (CONFIG: set to YES) as it did before I added the latest
components. So, I decided to pull the cover off and remove the SUB RX unit
to be sure everything was connected.  I reinstalled the SUB RX and
confirmed that all appeared well visually.  Now, I have zero output on my
watt meter and the VFO's are still not working independently. If I equalize
the VFO's, I hear the same station on both speakers alternately.  However,
If I rotate the B VFO the display changes frequency but the it does not
actually change the RX frequency.

Things that I've tried:  I've restored from my last settings backup and
installed latest firmware again.  I've reset the processor to factory
condition (still no output).  I've restored again to a backup version of
the settings using the utility software.  I've done the CONFIG:VCO routine
for both receivers as suggested in the troubleshooting section.  I've
attempted to do the Transmitter Gain Calibration a second time today and it
does not work (errors out after 8 seconds).  It did work earlier today
before I lost all output.

I DID at some point today use the CONFIG:KXV3 TEST feature as I was fishing
around for solutions.  I'm now sure what exactly this means but it may have
something to do with my current situation.
