PX3 Select knob not changing KX3 freq

Mike Parkes
I just finished putting together a new PX3 from kit, and have it connected
to the KX3. Everything seems to be working, signals from the KX3 are
showing up, and changing the KX3 vfo changes the displayed freq on the PX3.
However, the SELECT knob on the PX3 is *not *changing the displayed freq on
either device. Thanks for any help!

It’s not quite clear what you’re trying to do.  

The SELECT knob on the PX3 is not just an auxiliary tuning control.  So if you’re twirling the knob and expect the frequency to change, it won’t. You can turn on say Marker A, and use the SELECT knob to move the marker.  That by itself won’t do anything but move the marker.  But then, if you PRESS the knob, the frequency will change to match the marker.

But it is not just a tuning control …

Sounds like no one was hurt during assembly :-)
