Weird P3 issue

[Ronnie Hull]

I’m a newbie to six meters! Today I fired up my K3/P3 and when I went to six meters I have a solid tone coming through the speakers. I turn off the P3 and it goes away!
Doesn’t matter what frequency or mode on 6M.
It ONLY DOES IT on 6!

Anyone seen this before?

Hi Ronnie,

As a first step, try reseating all the RS-232 cables involved on the P3 and K3.   Any corrosion on a pin, etc., might be a source of such a tone.

Worth a shot ...
