K3 and DXDoubler URGENT please!

Hello,

I can TX with my Yamaha CM500 in the back of my K3 with MENU MIC SEL = rP.L
bIAS

now I connected DXDoubler, add the little battery bias to the CM500 as Rob
told me, and turn OFF bIAB, so now I have MENU MIC SEL = rP.L

But I cannot get ON AIR with the K3.

My second radio for SO2R is a TS850 and is TX properly.

I appreciate any help, this must me my sleeping hours pre contest hi hi.

73,

Jorge

Re: K3 and DXDoubler URGENT please!

Are you sure the DXDoubler is properly passing the mic audio? The
DX Doubler schematic shows a DC connection from the mic jack to
each of the "radio" jacks via a DPDT relay that switches both the
mic hot and mic ground. I would suspect you have either a bad relay
or have not wired the cable between DXDoubler and your K3 correctly.

Re: K3 and DXDoubler URGENT please!

thanks Rob, Joe, Dave, Ted for the help.

finally was a problem in the DXD K3 cable, in the mono audio connector. No
connectivity between the outside point of the connector and inside tab.

I replaced the audio mono connector of the DXD cable and now it´s running.

Thanks very much, so now 2 hours to sleep, hi hi....

73,
