KX3/KPA100 issue

[Thaire Bryant-2]

Suddenly my KX3 will not switch between antenna 1 & 2 nor can I switch antennas on the KPA100.  Both are stuck on "Ant 1".  I rechecked settings in menu and reconnected the two and no change.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Thaire. W2APF

Could you have disabled ANT2 for the band you're on?

This is a KXPA100 Utility configuration choice.

Thaire,

The basic KX3 does not have a 2nd antenna.  That is only possible with
the KXPA100 with the KXAT100 ATU installed.

Check the KX3 menu to be certain that PA MODE is set to ON, and make
certain you are doing a HOLD of the ANT button when attempting to switch
antennas.  See page 24 of the KXPA100 manual.

73,
Don W3FPR
