Operator error or hardware fault?
Locked
 
|
Dear folks,
My Elecraft K3 with sub receiver suddenly is performing differently. I am not aware of having done any changes to any settings at the exact time of this change of performance (but of course I can have done something without knowing/remembering). Normally after activating SUB I have the main receiver in my left ear and the sub receiver in my right ear. Now I have both (of course different) signals in both ears at the same time (maybe a bit lower volume in my left ear). Also I normally hear the monitor signal (MON) with a pleasant volume with a setting of 14. Now I have to select max volume (60) to be able to just hear the monitor signal. This is true for both SSB and CW (yes separate settings). From the SPKRS connector I have a stereo cable to a special device which is sending the signal to my hearing aids. I also tried connecting external speakers, which did not change anything. Also I have connected external speakers to a PHONES connector (on the front). And yes I have selected both speakers and phones in the configuration menu. The problem with the monitor signal seems to disappear when I am using the internal speaker only. But of course using the internal speaker only cannot give me separation of the signals from the main receiver and the sub receiver. After encountering both of these problems I have reloaded two different very old configuration files. They did not solve any of the problems. Do I have a hardware fault? Or are there any settings that are not influenced by restoring a configuration file?

Hi Kjeld,
Try changing the CONFIG:L-MIX-R setting. The default is main left, sub right. You'll have to enable TECH MD before you can get to this CONFIG setting. 73, matt W6NIA On Sun, 4 May 2014 12:30:30 +0200, you wrote: >Dear folks, > > > >My Elecraft K3 with sub receiver suddenly is performing differently.

Hi
Check your settings for L MiX R. and AF Level. Sounds like the defaults are loaded. Why? Good question. 73s -------- Original message -------- From: Kjeld Holm <[hidden email]> Date: 04/05/2014 06:30 (GMT-05:00) To: elecraft <[hidden email]> Subject: [Elecraft] Operator error or hardware fault?

Dear All,
Problem solved. I did two things. Reloaded all firmware and changed the cable between the station and the device sending AF to my hearing aids. Im not sure what helped as I has already changed the cable once without result.

Excellent news, Kjeld!
There are times when multiple changes combine in troubleshooting, to give the needed result. A problem isn't always due to one source. 73, matt W6NIA On Thu, 8 May 2014 14:50:57 +0200, you wrote: >Dear All, > >Problem solved. I did two things.
