Re: VFO B receive not heard in headphones with SUB on (SOLVED!)

[Jeff Hall, W6UX-2]

Mike, thank you very much! The problem was as I suspected, operator error! The outer AF knob was fully counter clockwise.  Restoring this knob to the 12:00 position restored VFO reception in my right ear.  It must have gotten knocked by someone using my rig at Field Day.  What a relief!

73, Jeff

INT QKN: "How many knobs does your radio have?"
QKN 30: "My radio has 30 knobs."

INT QKK: "How many of them do you know how to use?"
QKK 6: "I know how to use 6 of them."

Your problem is my problem, and I'm finding out that when I get my K3 to
work as I want it to, I quit touching 95% of them.  It leaves me more
time to actually work DX, SOTA summits, and contests.  Going to RTTY for
a contest is always an adventure.  I keep a station notebook and I write
down what I do.  Every now and then, it's helpful. :-)
