KSYN3A Upgrade Problem with my K3

Hi all,

I just replaced main and sub-receiver synthesizer boards with the upgraded
KSYN3A boards.

I seem to have lost audio from the sub-receiver. When I activate "SUB" and
turn the balance control fully clockwise, all I get is silence.

I have restored the last configuration that worked (with the original
synthesizer boards) but that did not help.

Visual inspection tells me I have the boards installed correctly. Can
anyone suggest where I should be looking?

Yes, I am using the latest (5.14) firmware.

Thanks. 73 de Brian W3BW

I have. They are in the right places, and wiggling makes no difference.

I also am getting "SYN1 OK" and "SYN2 OK" indications.

Check your menu items? Maybe the KRX3 got accidentally shifted to "Not
Installed"? Also check the selections for audio output control in the
menu.

Re: KSYN3A Upgrade Problem with my K3

No, I restored all my working config parameters.

I just found something:

It works with headphones, not with a speaker. I must have something setup
wrong.

OK. It works with headphones, and Craig at Elecraft told me to change
SPKRS=2 to SPKRS=1, and now it works. I think it probably never worked
with the speaker, and as I always use a headset, I never noticed before.

Thanks to Craig for the help!
