KX3 Line: PX3 Problem

K. Scott Wood
I need to consult the collective intelligence and experience of the Elecraft Group about a problem with my KX3 - PX3 - KXPA100 Line.

After almost a year of moving and renovations, I got back on the air a couple of weeks ago with my KX3 Line.  It worked flawlessly when I took it apart for the move,  and the  KX3 and KXPA 100 worked properly alone when I recently fired it up.  However, when I turn on the PX3, it causes the amplifier to switch to antenna two, turns off the amplifier and switches the KX3 PA menu to off.  

What is going on?? I am hoping that perhaps there is some menu setting that needs to be rejigged.

Your thoughts and advice will be appreciated.

Scott,

I can think of 2 things to check:
1) Are the RJ45 connectors plugged in fully?  sometimes the hood
prevents full insertion - pull the hood back a bit and give the jack
body a push - if it clicks, it was not fully seated.
2) Check to be certain the ACC1 cables are connected properly.  The ACC1
cable from the KZPA100 goes to the PX3 ACC1 PC jack.  The PX3 ACC1 XCVR
jack then connects to the KX3 ACC1 jack.
