Working Split with K3S

[N5GE]

I'm trying to set-up working Split Folowing Fred Cady's K3s manua land
I'm having trouble setting it up on 17m.  I have it setup for 20m and
it works very well.  I can hear the the audio from the sub rx in
pileups-ups and it works great!

On 17m I followed the instructions, and I can hear the audio from the
main RX in my left ear, but I cannot hear the audio from the sub RX in
my right ear, but I can see that the VFO's are in split mode by
looking at the P3's display.

What am I missing here?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

ARS N5GE

What antenna is connected to the Sub-RX?  Is the Sub-RX on? Many K3
settings are "by band," so making a change on one band does not carry
through to other bands. This is often the cause of the K3 doing
something you don't expect. :)  BTW -- K3 and K3S operate the same, the
K3S is simply the latest improved hardware.

A good move when doing anything with the Sub RX or second VFO is to copy
settings for the Main RX to the second VFO or Sub RX by quickly pushing
A>B twice in succession.

If you want to work split, do that first, then immediately tune the 2nd
VFO to the desired split (so you don't TX on top of the DX).

Tom,

SPLIT and the SubRX are two different things - try not to get them mixed up.
The SubRX normally receives using VFO B (unless in DIVERSITY), but that
is not the same as SPLIT.
With SPLIT off, transmit will be on the VFO A frequency.
When SPLIT is ON, transmit will be on the VFO B frequency.  That is true
whether the SubRX is turned on or off.

Do a check - turn SPLIT off.
Now can you hear both the main and SubRX?  If not, do you really have
SUB turned on?  You should see the SUB icon in the display.
If SUB is turned on, then check the antenna that the SubRX is using -
use BSET and see if AUX appears in the display, if it does, then the
SubRX is listening to the AUX antenna - which would be either the BNC
ant connector or the non-transmit antenna (depends on how your SubRX AUX
input is physically connected).
Turn AUX off if it is turned on so the SubRX will listen to the main
antenna (the same one used for transmit).

You should be able to hear both the main and the SubRX.

Once you can hear both, turn on SPLIT - observe that the arrow in the
right of the display points to VFO B.  The SubRX should still be heard.
