What have I dont now.

I have a K-3 with sub rx installed and it was working ok up until
today. Now it seems there is no vfo control on the sub. when the main
vfo knob is moved the freq changes and acts normal. when sub is pushed
the sub rx is listening to the same freq as the main except the display
reads a different freq.. Each volume control works but controls a
different ear.

What I have I done that I cant listen to two separate freq, one in each
ear. They are not linked.

Help!

Re: What have I dont now.

Sounds to me like you held the button in too long, and you're in Diversity mode now.. Is the decimal point blinking? if so, turn off the sub, then turn it back on again. That should do the trick.

Also, it seems that in the "BSET" mode, the B VFO is still not locked to the A VFO when in diversity mode. Just a note for Wayne to look into that when he gets a chance.

Mike,
If you held the SUB button in too long, you may have "linked" the sub and
main. The remedy is to do the same to unlink them.

well the decimal is not blinking and the sub rx seems to be off in la-la
land. Toggle between vfo a and b and two different stations are there
turn the sub on and only hear the main freq. both volume controls seem
to control different ears guess it still isnt off diversity that is.

Re: What have I dont now.

Okay, here's another one for you... Do you have the Sub mode in "balanced"?? This could make it so that the Sub Volume acts as a balance control, maybe you have the volume on the Sub set so that it's really hearing only the Main receiver???

And no, you shouldn't HAVE to pull the sub, but you shouldn't have to get your oil changed every 3000 mile either.. but if you want your car to work, you do it. This is trouble shooting.. Anger doesn't get you anywhere.. Trying things does.
