Working Split with the 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

Re: Working Split with the K3S

OKay, so this really drove me nuts.  I have the macro set up to toggle
split now.

What goes wrong?  Wrong antenna was one thing.  How I end up with ANT
instead of ANT1 is beyond me.

I don't have the problem anymore, probably because I've gone through
every band and mode memory and I've finally got everything on the proper
antenna, including using the KAT utility to disable unused antenna ports.

Seeing things in split doesn't mean you hear SUB, so make sure the SUB
is displayed in the K3S and you should be good.  Split and Sub are not
the same, but they are both great features.

When I use the SPLIT macro, I have it set both SPLIT and SUB and then I
tab SUB if I don't want to hear the SPLIT frequency.  Then, when I'm
finsihed with split, the PF key sets things to NORMAL again.

73, Byron

Cady, Fred-2

Hi,
I wonder if the sub receiver antenna is set to RX ANT or something.
Try double-tapping A>B to transfer all VFO settings to VFO B.
Cheers,
Fred KE7X
