Sub RX no work

Greetings All, Well I have just installed a sub RX in a late
K3 (67xx). Before I go back into the radio and quadruple
check my work I just have to ask if I am missing something
in config.
I have audio and control of the sub RX and can even hear
signals through it but very very weak compared to the Main.
All seems OK but just very poor RX. I have selected the
ATU as source of antenna and have my connections there.
(I will go in later and see if I have any thing mis/dis connected).
Am I missing something in config? I have two filters installed
in the sub and NO BPF. No error messages and again it
seems to respond to everything input to it. Even receives
just poorly. Thanks for any help. 73, Mike

Re: Sub RX no work

Hi Mike,
Make sure the sub rx and the main rx are on the same antenna. Turn Sub on and then Hold RX until you see MAIN displayed, not AUX.

In reply to this post by Mike Sanders

Mike,

I had a similar issue, and after I re-ran the KSYN3 calibration a second
time, all was well. In retrospect, I think I may have inadvertently
stopped it the first time around.

Re: Sub RX no work

In reply to this post by Cady, Fred

Well, I think I have found it. I have not gotten
the filters selected for the sub RX and the rig
keeps going back to a FL1 position. I only
have FL2 and FL4 populated with 2.8 and
400hz respectively. When I go into Bset I
can get to those filters and the RX is FB
but when I get out of Bset it goes back to
one of the filter slots I do not have.
Apparently I need to deselect FL1, 3 and
5 from the sub RX. Not sure How to do that?
Thanks for the tips so far. Any help on the
filter issue appreciated. 73 again.

Mike,

I had similar symptoms. Turned out to be RF gain, Howard from Elecraft solved it.

Check your filter locations and make sure they are "selected". As I recall you must instal the filters in slot 1 then 2 then 3. In other words, no skipping over slots.

Re: Sub RX no work

There is a K3 Utility configuration dialog devoted to crystal filter setup, and it has pages for both main and sub receiver filters.

Re: Sub RX no work

In reply to this post by Buck - k4ia

Wrong, my 2k7 is in FL2 and my 500 is in FL5, both main and sub RX.
Nothing between.
