P3 Display issues...

[Robin Kiszka]

Hi -

 

I just cannot get this to work for me. I am looking at my P3 connected to a K3. It is connected between the IF In on the P3 and IF Out on the K3. When looking at the P3 display, on all frequencies, I do not see the actual frequency of the VFO, I see 0, for example to top line has -25.0 0 +25.0.

 

On top of that, when I use marker A and move it and press the QSY, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong. The User Guide just says how it should work, but not why it is displaying 0 as center frequency?

 

Thanks,

Robin

Sometimes it is even a loose connection  - make sure you push the RJ-45
connector all the way in until it clicks. Sounds too stupid but happened to
me once...........

Hi Robin,

Make sure you have the P3 and K3 connected via the 9 pin RS232 cable, and that
both are at the same baud rate mentioned the manual.

Also, in the P3 menu there is an entry for radio type. Select K3 if it is not
already entered.

73,

Eric
