K3 Tuning Knob

[Bob DeHaney]

The recommended K2 substitution knob is the main tuning knob from a Yaesu
FT-900, it's much heavier and has a nice feel.  I ordered mine from a German
Yaesu dealer.  

Hummm think I'll pull it off the K2 and see how it fits K3 S/N 906.

Hi Group,

My PR6 pre-amp arrived here today and I've got it connected.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I simply can't get it to work.

12v is taken from the AUX supply. (The 12v is good)
The White CTRL lead is connected to pin 11 on ACC
On the 6m band I've set CONFIG: DIGOUT1 to ON

I've removed the jumper P2 (although it didn't make any difference either
way)

The manual indicates tapping the RX antenna button to turn the pre-amp on,
and when I do, the radio stops receiving. (it's sat listening to a beacon)
and the RX is shown on the front panel.

Any ideas as to what I've got set wrong?

I wonder why??  The K3 knob is wonderful the way it is.  Nicely weighted
with a dimple and a nice rubber skirt.  I think the K3 knob is great.

I would like to get a spare K3 main tuning knob.  Anyone want to part
with one?
Aloha,
