K3 sub receiver stopped working - where to start

mike
Sub receiver all of sudden does not produce signal. Audio is not dead, but cannot hear the VFO B signal in split operation. Where should I start to find what has gone wrong?  ..mike

Hi Mike,

The most common (and easiest to correct) reason for this is incorrect antenna selection for the SUB RX. If you hold the BSET button it will momentarily flash which antenna is being used by the SUB RX on the lower display. You probably want to be using the same antenna as your MAIN RX so you want to see MAIN on the lower display and not AUX.

Dick, K8ZTT has the winning answer:

"Turn on the sub receiver, then check to see what input you are using for the sub.   Turn on the sub receiver, then HOLD (not push)  the "RX/ANT" button (next to the power switch) and make sure you are not using the AUX input (it needs to be MAIN). The one in use comes into view in the bottom right side of the readout  (to the right of the XFIL window). Dick,  K8ZTT"

That was it. All is back to perfect working order. Thanks es 73  ..mike  AI6II
