KXPA100 antenna port selection from KX3

[dennis rosenbalm]

Cannot get the KX3 ANT select button to change antenna ports on the KXPA100. The KX3 display acknowledges ANT button push by displaying the inactive port but reverts to normal when display goes back to normal. Running latest firmware on the KX3.

Any ideas?

Fire up the KXPA100 Utility and check the Antenna configuration page.  In that page you can choose to allocate different bands to different antenna ports.  For those with no antennas on ANT2, say, it is a good strategy to inactivate all bands for ANT2 to avoid selecting that accidently and transmitting into an open.  You might have that situation.
Cheers and 73,

Could one of the KXPA100 antenna ports be disabled on that band?

The KXPA Utility, configuration menu, Edit Configuration lets you enable or
disable ANT1 or ANT2  by band.

Cannot get the KX3 ANT select button to change antenna ports on the KXPA100.
The KX3 display acknowledges ANT button push by displaying the inactive port
but reverts to normal when display goes back to normal. Running latest
firmware on the KX3.

Any ideas?
