Second RX problems

Hi,

I am setting up for the CQ160 SSB contest and notice a strange behaviour with my K3. Opening the second RX there are no received signals. Second RX/Diversity works well in CW, but not in SSB. If I go into settings and filter settings, then press SUB the receiver starts. It continues working until I touch the filter adjustments or any of the other rotary encoders SHIFT, WIDTH, SPEED/MIC or CMP/PWR.

I can remember I changed any settings relating to filters and second RX in a long time.

Any ideas out there?

Re: Second RX problems

Bjorn,

Did you check ant1/2 and RX ANT for SSB?

Re: Second RX problems

Yes I did check the antenna settings for SUB RX. It seems to be a problem that appeared with an upgrade or by time. I can’t remember I did anything in settings to create this behaviour. As I am able to get it working again by going into filter settings and press SUB and then the RX dies when I do something with the radio (either directly or via CAT) it seems to be software related rather than hardware.

I’ll pass this on to support, but if someone has more ideas I am all ears as I really need my second RX in the contest this weekend.

Re: Second RX problems - Disregards, problem solved!

Hi,

Thanks for the help on this!

I did find the problem, it was a setting where the filters for the sub RX wasn’t turned on for the corresponding filter width of the main RX. I remember some time ago my remote connection went crazy and the radio entered the settings menu. I also found a could of other settings being off, so all these have been returned to where I need them and second RX is now OK again.
