KRX3 install

I've just finished installing a KRX3 with the KBPF3 and when I push
the sub button it tells me "NO SUB". I have been through the menus several
times, setting up the filters and modes and bandwidths for the main and the
sub receiver but I still get the same error when I try to select the sub
receiver. I have also selected the KBPF3 for the sub receiver, but it
doesn't ask me about setting up the KBPF3 for the sub. I assumed you would
have to tell it when to use the KBPF3 as with the other filters. Maybe this
is done automatically when going outside the amateur bands. I seem to recall
something about this.

I'm sure I have missed something. Can someone help? This is the very
first time I have installed something in the K3 (or the K2) that didn't
work.

Still looking through the manual,

Re: KRX3 install

The most obvious question: Did you set CONFIG:KRX3 to "Ant=bnc" or
"Ant=Atu"? (as opposed to "not inSt")

Did you power cycle the radio after enabling the additional features in
the menu?

And you can hit SUB while in the KBPF3 feature menu to turn on which RX
you've installed the filter into. Yes the radio does automatically
select it when travelling outside the ham bands.

Re: KRX3 install

I've sent a bunch of replies and they all went to the individuals instead of going to the reflector. Sorry about that folks.

Yes, the power cycle did fix part of my problem. I could then see the SUB come on. I also encountered an
ERR PL2 error code. I had to go in and re-calibrate the VCO for the sub receiver. I had somehow messed that up. Whenever I pressed the ATU TUNE button I would get an ERR TXF error. Looked that up and figured out that I was transmitting on the wrong bandwidth for CW. There is an awful lot to do when setting up 10 filters for the K3 and the SUB receiver. I finally got it all correct I think, but I still had no audio for the SUB receiver. After reading the instructions I realized that I had to set the number of speakers to ONE, and then I had audio as well as receive signal from the SUB receiver. I need to get some stereo speakers.

I have more reading to do.

Thank you all for your help,
