Lost Stereo effect with the sub receiver

Jerry
Hello,

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on troubleshooting (config or Main or
"buttons") menus for this problem.

 

When I plug in the headphones, there is no audio from the sub receiver (sub
has been selected), however, pulling the headphones jack out 1/8 of an inch
I receive both Main and Sub in both sides of the headphones. When I remove
(deselect sub) there still is no audio on the right ear. I loaded the new
firmware, but I am not sure if I lost the "right" ear audio before or after
the firmware update. I have reversed the firmware update and got the dual PB
back.

 

An email has gone out to Elecraft Support with essentially the same info.

 

Best regards,

 

Jerry ,W1IE

Jerry,

The fact that you can pull the plug out a bit and have proper audio in
both ears speaks to a problem with either the jack in the K3 or the plug
on your headphones.  Certainly that cannot be changed by firmware or the
menus, it is simply a matter of something is failing to make proper contact.

Are you using the rear 3.5mm jack or the Front Panel 1/4 inch jack? Are
you using an adapter?  Any of those could be at fault.
It might be just a bit of dirt on the contacts in the jack, or a
non-standard ring width on the plug.  If using an adapter, then the
adapter is also suspect.  It certainly sounds like a mechanical problem
or a plug/jack mismatch to me.
