New KSYN3A in K3 requires 2 of them if you have the sub receiver?

[ke9uw]

Why do you need two new KSYN3As if you have both receivers? What if you don/t need to do diversity reception?

Normal operation (not Diversity) with the SUB on needs a synthesizer for
each receiver.  VFO A and VFO B must tune independently, and that
requires one for each VFO.

You cannot mix synthesizers, they must both be the same.

That was sort of my question, why to the synthesizers have to be the same? What if they are not? What would happen if they were not the same? Something bad...not work at all?

Chuck,

If you want the K3 to power up without errors and work properly, the
synthesizers must be the same.
You can always remove the KRX3 and operate with one synthesizer.

Ok, thanks for the info. I just wondered what the consequences would be. I can imagine why they would have to be the same to sync the same.
