Second speaker just turns off K3S

[Dave Kelley]

My K3S has two receivers and is up to date on firmware.  I have a pair of the Elecraft speakers on it.

I haven’t found any particular pattern to when it does this, but every once in a  while the second speaker just cuts out and when I look at the menu selection it says 1 SPKR.  I change it back to 2 and it pops back on.

I can be operating or sitting across the room and it might do it every other day or so.  I do have the second receiver and often I’m listening with Diversity turned on.  I can’t remember it ever doing it when i was listening to two frequencies on each receiver.

It’s probably something I’m doing wrong, so I thought I’d ask you guys before hitting up support.

Dave, AI7R

Dave, you dont make any mistake.
This happen also to me.
I have a K3S with two Elecraft SP3 speakers and P3.
I havent understood why the K3S change from 2 SPKR to 1 SPKR.
But now I know that when the right speaker cease to work i should open
CONFIG and reset it to SPKR 2 becouse it had changed to spkr 1.
At first I though that it was rfi, but rfi doesnt change config menu, after
I thought that it was reprogrammed when I opened  WIN4K3Suite, but it happen
even without using this program.
I haven't understood why it happen.
Sorry.

I had this issue also but I've not seen it happen since loading beta
firmware 5.64 (which has an adjustment to fix this). It's caused by an
over-current condition sensed by the K3 when both audio channels are
loud enough to cause brief over-current conditions.

Good luck!

Just a thought.  I struggled with the speaker issue with the USB connection to my PC.  Turns out my PC recognizes the KS3 as another input and creates all kinds of havoc causing inability to control the volume, etc.  I looked at the speakers and then at the audio mixer and noted the WIN 10 OS was seeing the USB connection and was adding the computer audio to the equation.  I opened the mixer on the lower speaker taskbar icon, right clicked, and then muted the microphone (USB  Audio CODEC0 and problem solved.  This was really a challenge for a bit.  I generally don't have the USB output from the K3S plugged in to avoid some other issues, so memory served me correctly.  I have a separate set of speakers for the PC and another for the K3S, that IS THE PROBLEM for me. If you don't use this set up, no issue.  But IF you use the PC and the Radio, you will get into a mess with separate speaker systems.  Hope that makes sense.

73,
