New Synths KSYN3As

G3RTE
Sometimes you wish you had left well alone!

I installed the new KSYN3As this morning. Uploaded the new firmware to 5.14 as instructed.

Now here is the problem.  VFO A will NOT tune. VFO B does.  Swapped the cards over just in case. Reloaded firmware just in case.  Still get the same VFO A not tuning but VFO B does. Guess that removes any issues with the boards. Have found that if you go into Configure you can’t change settings either.

Any suggestions as to what I can do next?

Re: New Synths KSYN3As

The TMP cables can be tricky to insert. Make sure all of them are
plugged in all the way. Since you swapped the synths, the problem is
likely on the ends of the cables that do not go to the synths.

You have probably checked and double checked the locations of all the
cables against the diagram in the instructions, but I would do it again.
The symptom suggests that they are not hooked up correctly.

It might be worth checking the ends of the cables carefully to make sure
they are OK.
