RF/SQL dual control
Locked
 
|
I don't know what changed but the dual RF/SQL control for main and sub
receiver cuts out at approximately 1 o-clock position just like a wiper not making contact on a carbon pot for about 1/8 inch movement of either the large or small knob. The radio is only several months old and I don't think the control is the problem. Any Ideas.

Hi Earl,
Check your Config menu SQ MAIN and SQ SUB. If SQ MAIN is set to =Sub Pot the control will act as a squelch control. Also tapping 1 in the SQ MAIN menu can choose between FM or ALL mode squelch.

Hi Earl,
Check the Config menu SQ MAIN. If it is set =Sub Pot then that control acts as a squelch control. If you set it to 00 then the control acts as the Sub RF gain.

Hi Fred,
Config SQ main and sub are set to 00. Both main and sub act like regular RF gain going from 0 to full on but both still have dead spot around 1 o-clock. Not causing a problem but would like to eliminate it. Still on the bottom of the learning curve of this radio but learn something new every day. Thanks for the reply. 73, Earl K4KAY -----Original Message----- From: Cady, Fred [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 5:47 PM To: efortner; 'Elecraft Reflector' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RF/SQL dual control Hi Earl, Check your Config menu SQ MAIN and SQ SUB.

Hi Fred
I have the same symptom on my K3 SN 60xx with new synth boards, I hope is not a mechanical/carbon knob film issue. vy 73 de VE3GNO Daniel From: efortner <[hidden email]> To: "'Cady, Fred'" <[hidden email]>; 'Elecraft Reflector' <[hidden email]> Sent: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 2:46 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RF/SQL dual control Hi Fred, Config SQ main and sub are set to 00.
