Stereo phone help

Joe K2UF
I have my phones plugged into the front phones connector ( of course using
an 1/8 to 1/4 stereo adapter) I get VFO A in left ear and VFO B in right ear
as it should be. If I unplug the headphones from the front jack and plug
them into the rear stereo phones jack I get VFO A in RIGHT  ear and nothing
in left ear.  Both cases I am using [SUB] [SPLIT] in fact I do not change
any settings.  I thought the two jacks were in parallel. Now what am I
missing?

HELP !!

Did you set CONFIG:SPKRS to 2?

Re: Stereo phone help

Mike K2MK
Hi Rick & Joe,

Rick, to the best of my knowledge, the CONFIG:SPKRS affects the rear speaker jack and not the rear phone jack. The rear phone jack is always stereo. Of course, I suppose it might be possible that Joe has accidentally plugged his head phones into the rear speaker jack by mistake.

Joe, another config variable that affects what you hear in your headphones is CONFIG: L-MIX-R. Barring a hardware failure on the rear phone jack it almost sounds like this variable is set to B - A or B - AB and there is nothing to be heard from the sub receiver. Maybe the sub RF gain or volume has been turned all the way down. (tip: this variable is located alphabetically by the word "MIX" and can be found after MIC BIN).

73,
Mike K2MK
