PR6-10/KXV3A FAILURE

[w0sz]

Good morning group.  I have a PR6-10 preamp which works fine on my main radio but doesn't work on radio number 2.  I am able to receive OK through the preamp using secondary antenna but the preamp does not work to amplify signals on 6 and 10 meters.  I know the preamp works fine.  Has anyone had a failure of their KXV3A interface causing similar problem?  Thanks and 73, Steve W0SZ

If you have it connected to the AUX connector on the K3, make sure you
have set DIGOUT1 to ON in the config menu on the bands that you want to
activate the preamp on.

How do you have this connected to two radios?

I have the DIGOUT turned on for the bands that use the preamplifier (i.e. 6, 10 and 12 meter bands) so the preamplifier is on.  I hear it switch on when I push RX ANT switch.  I am only using the preamplifier on one radio at a time.  It works great in my old K3 but I can't get it to work on the other K3.  The 'other' K3 otherwise works fine with the P3, KAT500 and KPA500.

Do you have the Auxbus adapter in place on the KPA500 end of the cable on the second system? Pin 11 on the KPA side should not be connected to the preamp. This might be causing problems if it is connected.
