K3 Speaker Audio Quit

Elecraft mailing list
Well, this is a strange one. Last week my trusty old Yamaha CM500 cans finally got so deteriorated I got tired of picking small pieces of black rubber out of my ears so I looked for a replacement. Bought a Koss SB45 that I used for 15 minutes and quit because they hurt. Today I got a brand new CM500 delivered and hooked it up.

What I got was nice audio in the headphones, but nothing to the speaker. I have SPEAKERS set to 2 for diversity RX. When I set SPKR + PH = yes I get audio to the headphones, but nothing to the internal speaker. When SPKR + PH is set to NO, I get nothing. Unplugging the CM500 cable makes no difference.

What the heck did I do to cause this? I hope it is something simple/stupid! Any ideas?

K3 Speaker Audio Quit

Jim,

Check this, you could have bumped the "1" button!


line"> <IF THE SPEAKER IS NOT WORKING with headphones unplugged: Locate
the CONFIG:SPKR+PH menu
entry. Tap ‘1’ on the numeric keypad until you see PH.R SW– . The minus
sign (-)indicates inverted switch
logic for the jack for the newer KIO3 audio board. Exit the menu and
re-save your configuration using K3 Utility.

Resistance is futile.
(don't know about reactance, though)

Carl - gave it a try but didn’t help. Each push of the “1” button changes it from - to + and I hear a short noise from the internal speaker, but still no audio getting through.
