KSYN3A - installation question

Edward A. Dauer

First question that came to my mind when I saw the announcement was
whether the KRX3 had to be removed and reinstalled in order to replace the
synths.  I found installing the KRX3 exasperating when I assembled the K3
- success came on about the 12th try.

My K3 is 100 miles from where I am right now, so I looked at the photos in
the K3 assembly manual and those in the new synth instructions, from which
it appears that the swap could be done without removing the KRX3.  Could
we confirm whether R&R is required?  Message below says it is.

If the sub does have to be R&R¹d, anyone have suggestions about how to
reinstall it without the major fuss I experienced?

without removing the KRX3

Re: KSYN3A - installation question

In reply to this post by Edward A. Dauer
  I looked it over and the only reason you would have to remove the KRX3
is if you had it installed but were only buying one KSYN3A.  You must
have the same synthesizer installed for both receivers.  If you just
change out the main receiver's synthesizer, you then must remove both
the old 2nd RX synthesizer AND the receiver or you will confuse the K3's
MPU and it won't work.  That was the gist of the previous thread.

I found that installing the sub reciever is a lot easier with the handle side of the K3 removed.

Definitely. I believe that's in the instructions.

In reply to this post by Ken Wagner K3IU

I doubt it ... there is not all that much room between the front
bulkhead and the edge of the KRX3 case.  In addition, Wayne mentioned
the need to reroute some of the cables with may not be possible if
the KRX3 is in place.

It is quite easy to swap the synthesizer boards without removing the KRX3 module. I did it blindfolded with a long-haired cat on my lap and the latest Tom Petty album blasting away.

It's what I use, but probably a dog would work as well.

Re: KSYN3A - installation question

QUENTIN COLLIER
In reply to this post by Stewart@twinwood
I apologise for this being off topic, but this (which my son told me - I blame the parents...) had me doubled up.

Schrödinger has had a bad day at the lab, and is driving home somewhat erratically. So a policeman pulls him over and breathalyses him. The policeman says "well you're sober, but do you mind if I take a look around the car?" "Sure" says Erwin. A couple of minutes later the officer comes back and says " well, the car's OK, but did you know there is a dead cat in the boot?" (Perhaps I should say trunk, as this is predominantly a US website...) "Well, yes, there is NOW" says Schrödinger.

One day I will make a useful contribution to this list....



73, Quin G3WRR
