P3 utility and no sub receiver

[Ron Wilcox]

First time poster. I just finished putting together my K3S, subreceiver,
100 watt amplifier  and panadapter. Having a medical background this was
quite a unique experience. I have a couple of questions and could not find
the answer in the archives so hope this is not a frequently asked question.
I have read the sections in the books multiple times but it is still not
clear to me. My computer setup is via USB.

1- I was able to update the K3S and access the utility  with no problems. I
cannot update the P3 or access the P3 utility  when the K3S is on, and am
running the P3 from the K3S. Is the P3 automatically updated when I do the
K3S? Do I need the P3 utility when the K3S utility is linked to my K3S?

2- When I push the "sub" button I get "no sub", what is my next step, or
what did I miss?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ron,

You do need the P3 utility to update the P3 and the K3 Utility should not be running as they use the same serial port.

If you are seeing No Sub you probably don't have the Config menu KRX3 set to ATU or BNC.  Which of those you chose depends on how you have the sub receiver installed.  Choose ATU if the sub receiver antenna is connected to the ATU or BNC if it is connected to the AUX BNC connector.

Ron,

You have to use the P3 Utility to access the P3 - you cannot use the K3
Utility and the P3 Utility at the same time, they both have to use the
same COM Port.

For the NO SUB response, I suspect that you have not yet turned the KRX3
menu entry to Installed.
