P3 problem...
Locked
 
|
Hello Elecrafters. I recently moved my station to a different room. After setting everything up in the new location, everything works normally except for the P3.. The P3 turns on and boots-up normally, but there are no signals on the display. The frequency of the K3 is displayed correctly on the top center of the display, so it seems that the cable is hooked-up correctly, but the only signals on the display are random noise on the bottom of the display at a level below S1. It doesn't change even if I turn the antenna switch to a dummy load, or even shut the K3 off. I live in town, and the local noise level is normally S9 or so on the lower bands, but nothing shows on the display on any band, even though the K3 is picking-up signals. Any ideas? Thanks es 73 de Doug N7QS.

Check your coax connection for the IF input. If you have another one, try another jumper.

Did you plug the BNC IF cable back in?

Hello Doug,
My guess would be that the cable that should connect the P3 "RF IN" BNC to the K3 "IF OUT" BNC is either not fully-engaged on both ends, or is defective. 73, Dale - WA8SRA On Sat, May 26, 2018 at 4:52 PM, Doug Eaton via Elecraft < [hidden email]> wrote: > Hello Elecrafters.
