Glad it's working well for you, Chuck. I'm pretty sure that's how mine was setup initially when I first got my K3s, but I've played around with various settings myself over the years, and A-Ab has been fantastic. Of course you can reverse it too, if you prefer to lock the DX into the right channel and use the Big Knob to tune the pileup for an open spot. I tried that for a while, but I really didn't like it.

I've had the sub Rx in my K3 for a couple of years now, and always had it setup for a-b. I was frequently turning off the sub Rx to hear the DX in both ears. The a-ab setting helps a lot-- don't know how I passed over this setting. It's tips like this that make this Elecraft Reflector worthwhile. Thanks, Peter! 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C K3/P3, KX1, KX2 On March 6, 2019 Peter Dougherty wrote: One thing I would add here is the L-Mix-R setting in the config menu, which controls which VFOs go in which ear. As a DXer who loves working pileups, I can tell you the best combination for me is A-Ab; meaning VFO A Audio (the DX station transmitting) is present in the left ear, and mixed in with the pileup (VFO-B) audio in the right ear. You can adjust that setting to taste (make sure you have the Sub-RX enabled first when you go into that menu item), but for me, A-Ab is the way to go. Try the different combinations to see which works best for you. - pjd ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
