Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain
Bill, It turned out to be a simple configuration problem as I had suspected. The KRX3 had lost the antenna setting when I disabled and reenabled it to fix the AF gain problem, so I only had to use BSET and tap [ANT] to choose the same ANT again as VFO A. Now all is well! Thanks to everyone that responded! 73, Mitch DJØQN - Original Message - From: "Bill W4ZV" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain Mitch Wolfson DJØQN wrote: Now I notice that my KRX3 sensitivity is much lower than the main receiver, which wasn't the case when I installed it.

If using a CW filter, it could be you are not compensating for the additional insertion loss of narrow filters in the SUB. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3---CQWWSSB-Contest-tp1377420p1398122.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain
Now I notice that my KRX3 sensitivity is much lower than the main receiver, which wasn't the case when I installed it... Check your XFIL gain settings in the SUB vs MAIN... Also, double check the KRX3 antenna selection. When mine went nearly deaf, it was because I managed to unwittingly put it in a state where it selected the unused antenna port. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain
Make sure that the KRX3 is fully mated with the SUBIN board connectors. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:02:50 +0100, Mitch Wolfson DJØQN wrote: > Hi Lyle, > > Thanks for the tip.I am using 2.46, and it didn't work until you pointed > me in the right direction. > > Since I had the AF Gain set to HI before I installed the KRX3, I now > disabled the KRX3 and changed AF to LO.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - KRX3: AF Gain
Hi Lyle, Thanks for the tip.I am using 2.46, and it didn't work until you pointed me in the right direction. Since I had the AF Gain set to HI before I installed the KRX3, I now disabled the KRX3 and changed AF to LO. Then I enabled the KRX3 and changed AF to HI afterwards, and that solved that problem. Now I notice that my KRX3 sensitivity is much lower than the main receiver, which wasn't the case when I installed it. I will try to figure that problem out on my own or otherwise contact support.

I have the main receiver's AF Gain set to HI, but I can't find a way to enable that function on the KRX3. Am I missing something, or is this a feature request? Setting the AF GAIn HI or LO in the CONFIG menu sends the appropriate commands to both main and sub receivers if the KRX3 is installed and enabled. With the main receiver on HI, the difference between the two receivers is too great to be able to hear very well on the KRX3, at least for the hard of hearing. The gain imbalance was fixed in firmware release 2.36/1.90. I also confirm it is fixed in the latest development release. I have not specifically checked this in any interim releases. Which firmware do you have loaded in yhour K3? 73, Lyle KK7P ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Hello Mitch! I have the main receiver's AF Gain set to HI, but I can't find a way to enable that function on the KRX3. Am I missing something, or is this a feature request? Setting the AF GAIn HI or LO in the CONFIG menu sends the appropriate commands to both main and sub receivers if the KRX3 is installed and enabled. With the main receiver on HI, the difference between the two receivers is too great to be able to hear very well on the KRX3, at least for the hard of hearing. The gain imbalance was fixed in firmware release 2.36/1.90. I also confirm it is fixed in the latest development release. I have not specifically checked this in any interim releases.
