No sub-receive after repair
 
|
Hi all:
I recently sent my K3 back to Elecraft for repair. I had attempted to install the new KAT3A, and I messed up the subreceiver, and I lost my output power. I also had them install the new KXV3B so that I could have the built-in 6 meter preamp. Elecraft returned my rig, received yesterday, and cautioned me to use the new config files they had set up. I am finding that I cannot get signals on the sub-receiver. Here is my setup: KRX3 Ant = BNC (same as before the repair) KXV3B = Nor L - Mix - R = A b KAT3 = byP (I use the KAT500) SPKRS = 2 SPKR + PH = YES SUB AF = bALAnCE I find that if I load my last saved config file, before the mods, the subreceiver works fine --- I can rotate Balance and move the sub-receive audio to my right earphone, keeping the main receive audio in my left earphone. This is obviously a config problem, and I don't want to keep using the old config file because it doesn't recognize the new KXV3B.. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong here? 73 de Brian W3BW *Brian F.

Check the Owner's Manual for "RX ANT" ... Turn on the Sub RX and *hold* the RX ANT button. What does the VFO B area of the display say? 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 8/27/2016 10:30 AM, Brian F.

That did it. I was not receiving on the "Main" antenna. Thanks!
