Re: Audio dropouts while tuning in K3 SubRX

k1htv
I noticed the same short audio dropout on the SubRx only (not the main) while
operating the CQ160 SB contest at home and the ARRL DX Phone contest at W3LPL. I
don't recall seeing this problem being reported until Brett mentioned it.  I
noticed the clicks occurring on 160M at the frequency transitions every 5 KHz:
1816.449 to .450
1821.449      "
1826.449      "
1831.449      "
When tuning some freqs above 1900 KHz the spacing changed to 6 KHz:
1937.449 to .450
1943.449       "
1949.449       "
1955.449       "
1961.449       "

It's not a severe problem but certainly was annoying hearing the clicks when
certain freqs were passed while hunting the 160 Meter band for mults.
I was using the new Beta firmware. Will check out the previous version when I
get a chance to see if it was there and not previously noticed.

What is the story behind the audio breaks when tuning in the sub rx...
 Right now I get a break anytime I tune from and to the following
frequencies:

7.060.99 <-> 7.061
7.069.99 <-> 7.070
7.078.99 <-> 7.079
7.085.99 <-> 7.086
7.086.99 <-> 7.087

There are more but thats an example of them...  Its just a short blank pause in
audio whenever I make those transitions (in either direction I hear the pause).

Re: Audio dropouts while tuning in K3 SubRX

Hi Cookie. Which version of K3 firmware are you using? It's odd that the click
is heard only on the sub and not the main. Oh, BTW, I forgot to mention that the
problem occurred when running the two receivers independently with the VFOs not
locked and not in the DIVERSITY mode. Is that the way you tested your K3?
