KX3 ATU "not inst"

Tim Tucker
All of the sudden my KX3's ATU cannot be seen by the radio and I can't
figure out why.  I went to the menu ATU.X MD and it says "not inst" and
when I try to change the mode, it just says N/A.  I tried pulling the ATU
out and put it back in, which didn't help.  It was working just fine since
the day it was installed until tonight.  Any thoughts before I call support?

Thx,
Tim

Check the PA Mode in the menu and be sure it is set to OFF if you don't have a KXPA100 attached.

I just went through the same thing with my KX3. The problem was caused
by HRD. If you're using HRD try moving the "Low Pwr Slider" to 12Watts
and see if that does the trick. You will see ATU on the KX3's screen.
Also the KX3 menu will drop the .X and become just ATU MD.
I really like HRD for logging but it doesn't get along with KX3 very well.

I had posted the same issue on this list just two weeks ago. This has been reported to HRD and will be fixed in the next version.

If you don’t touch the “high Pwr Slider”, the KX3 works OK with HRD.

DM780 hangs when asked to transmit through rig blaster advantage + KX3, but that is a non-KX3 issue.

Re: KX3 ATU "not inst"

Tim Tucker
All,

Lyle emailed me 2 minutes after I posted this and pointed me in the right
direction (Thanks Lyle!)  The problem was that at some point I had
accidentally bumped the setting in the config to tell the radio that I had
the KXPA100 installed, which I don't.  As soon as I turned that off,
everything was back to normal.

Tim

The obvious fix is to satisfy your KX3's craving
by adding a KXPA3 :-)

Aaaah! So you mean it is the KX3 that craves and not what is between the PTT button and the chair? :)
