Spkrs+Ph ??

Since Elecraft is so backed up. I thought would ask this question here

I just received my invoice for repairs to my K3S

There was a notation stating:
SPKR + PH wrong toogle. Reset to NO

I found this unusual as I have it set to YES since my headphones and stereo external speakers both plugged into the rear panel.

Any idea why setting it to YES is considered wrong?

I am a bit baffled??

Re: Spkrs+Ph ??

Just a question. Why do you use speakers AND phones at same time? Maybe so that you can hear radio better but still provide speaker so that you can irritate your wife and kids in the other room?

Re: Spkrs+Ph ??

Rich may have a very good reason. I also use that setting. My shack is a nice shed in the back yard. When my wife or daughter come out while I am operating with headphones on, the sound fro the speaker lets them know that I cannot hear them. They know to wait until I finish the current QSO, then I will stop to talk.

So, there are good reasons. The down side? Since switching to a CM500 headset I haven’t been able to get a good setting on the antivox to keep from tripping the micro[hone, so I now have to use foot switch PTT. I’ll get that going in the near future. It was not a problem this weekend in wax…

In reply to this post by Rich-4

Sorry Rich that I did not explain it well, kinda rushed here...
There is a + - toggle (by tapping 1 in that menu) to change the sense
for the phones socket switch. We had a change in suppliers for that
socket and it went from being open or grounded sense when the phones are
plugged in depending on the vintage of the KIO3-Audio board phones socket.
If in the wrong position, you can restore audio by setting spkr+ph to
Yes but the rest of the audio gets all fubar.
So when I corrected the +-, there was no need to set to Yes, so I set to
no assuming you had set to yes to get audio.
Confusing enough? hi hi ( there is more info in the K3 Utility Firmware
notes).
You are welcome to set to yes or no as you like, just don't tap 1 in
that menu or you may have to change it back.
*** Also depending on the vintage of radio Front Panel, if you do a
reset (EE INIT) it may get toggled wrong.
In any case, the test (which I do at checkout) is to set spkr+ph to NO
and if the audio goes away (with no phones plugged in), I set the toggle
correctly.
I saved your config after checkout, so the toggle "should" get saved in
that.
