K3 - SSB audio get lost !

I am having a configuration issue that I have spent hours trying to figure
out and need some help please.

As a CW person, I seldom operate SSB and I am trying to get set up for this
weekend's CQWW SSB test. Below are some of my configuration for my K3 and
the attached are jpg configuration sheets from K3 EZ. In any band in the SSB
portion, I have no audio output any time I am in the USB or LSB mode,
however if I change from USB to CW, I have normal audio but of course I
can't copy the SSB signals. This is true whether I have my SUB turned on or
not. I have my CM-500 headset plugged into the rear of my K3 and I have the
RS20S headset plugged into the front panel PHONES jack and I have no audio
with either or both of the headsets plugged in. With both headsets removed,
I have no speaker audio in the SSB mode, but normal audio in the CW or AM
mode.

Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

In CONFIG I have:

SPKRS = 1
SPKR+PH = YES
L-MIX-R = A b

Thanks for your input and 73,

Tom - W4BQF

PS: I have been trying to configuration pictures from K3-EZ but nothing is
getting onto the reflector.

Re: K3 - SSB audio get lost !

Tom,

The reflector strips off any attachments (it also does not accept HTML).
If you can put the information you are trying to attach onto a website,
give us a link to it, otherwise we will not see it.

The other possibility is to put the information in plain text and then
you can post it as part of your email.

I don't have any immediate easy answers for your problem, sorry. The
only thing that occurs to me is some problem with the filters configured
for receive.

Thanks to all asking about my filter configuration.

I have my 2.7kc/1.0kc/0.5kc/0.3kc filters all enabled for CW/ LSB/ USB/ and
DATA.

And to clarify my original post, I am talking about receive audio and not
transmitted audio.

Is it possible that your 2.7/2.8 Khz filter is not selected for SSB in the
configuration?

Good luck with this, 73, John WB4UHC

I think I found it - try looking in your K3 Utility, under the Crystal Filter Configuration - there you will find the enable / disable for USB and LSB for each of the filters you have installed.

Hope that cures your problem!

Yes, I would check the crystal configuration. When I originally built
mine, I left the FL1 slot open for future AM or FM filter and put my
2.8KHz filter in FL2. At some point I also noticed I had no audio and
this is because the width knob was turned wider than 2.8 so the K3 was
trying to use a filter which was not installed.

Can you hear signals in CW mode with both narrow and wide Xtal filters?
Please look into schematic diagram and using the signal generator try to find where the signal is lost in front-end or IF chain.
Go backwards from AF to front-end.
