Transverter Setup anad ERR PL2

[Roger-2]

     While trying to set up my K3's low level output for use with my Elecraft 144 MHz Transverter, I have inadvertently screwed up my K3 system. Now I am getting the "ERR PL2" message. How did I do that?

     So, I need two things: First, how do I correct this error?  That is, what are the specific steps? The manual isn't clear on this subject.
     
     Second, I need the specific steps I must take to correctly set up the K3's transverter output and input ports for use with the transverter.

Hi Roger

> Now I am getting the "ERR PL2" message.

I would guess, you might, in the firmware, have "turned on" the  
secondary receiver, which you won't have, because they are not being  
shipped yet.

*************************************************************
The following is from page 44 of the Owners Manual:

Option Module Enables

K3 options can be installed at any time, in any order.

Once an option has been installed, use the associated CONFIG menu  
entry to enable it (see list below). Then turn the K3 off and turn it  
back on. This allows the K3 to find and test the module.

? KAT3 ATU module: set KAT3 to BYP.

? KBPF3 general-coverage band-pass filter module: set KBPF3 to NOR (if  
you?re installing a KBPF3 on the sub receiver, tap SUB while in the  
menu entry).

? KXV3 RF I/O module: set KXV3 to NOR.

? KRX3 sub receiver: set KRX3 to NOR-ANTx where x is your selected  
wiring for the sub receiver?s auxiliary antenna (1 = unused KAT3 ATU  
antenna, 2 = AUX RF jack, 3 = AUX RF in parallel with the RX ANT IN  
jack on the KXV3). For details on sub receiver antenna sources, see  
pg. 22. You may also need to set up crystal filters for the sub  
receiver.

? KDVR3 digital voice recorder: set KDVR3 to NOR.

? KPA3 amplifier module: set the PA MODE menu entry to PA NOR. See  
menu entry listings for information on PA and PAIO test settings.

I hope this helps,
