[Elecraft] K3 Sub-RX Deaf on One Band
This afternoon I worked TX5S split on 10 and 15. Tonight, I was hearing him very well on 80, but to my surprise my SubRX seems to have gone deaf on that band. I've verified that it's still working fine on all other HF bands, including 160, but for some reason no 80. The main RX and the transmitter are still fine on 80, which might help track it down if I knew what I was doing. Any ideas? -- 73, Pete N4ZR __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-RX Deaf on One Band
Yep - I tried to check that sort of thing, which I have been known to do. The sub-RX , on this one band, acts like it is disconnected from the antenna. 73, Pete N4ZR On 1/23/2024 8:52 PM, Gary K9GS wrote: RX antenna activated on 80m? 73, Gary K9GS Original message From: Pete Smith N4ZR Date: 1/23/24 8:42 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Elecraft List Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-RX Deaf on One Band This afternoon I worked TX5S split on 10 and 15.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-RX Deaf on One Band
Hi Pete, If you've confirmed that the RX ANT is NOT selected on the 80 meter band for the sub-RX, I would check the CONFIG entry for the KRX3 to be sure that it's not selecting the AUX RF input. It might have been selected inadvertently if you used BSET to change the sub-RX settings. 73, Mike, K8CN __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Did you check the filter settings (or filter) on the sub? 73, Rick nk7i On 1/24/2024 3:35 PM, Michael Carter via Elecraft wrote: Hi Pete, If you've confirmed that the RX ANT is NOT selected on the 80 meter band for the sub-RX, I would check the CONFIG entry for the KRX3 to be sure that it's not selecting the AUX RF input.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub-RX Deaf on One Band
Hi Mike - W4TV told me about that switching the Sub RX antenna between the normal input and the Aux jack on the back, which I had never known about. All's well now, until the next Gremlin arrives. 73, Pete N4ZR On 1/24/2024 6:35 PM, Michael Carter via Elecraft wrote: Hi Pete, If you've confirmed that the RX ANT is NOT selected on the 80 meter band for the sub-RX, I would check the CONFIG entry for the KRX3 to be sure that it's not selecting the AUX RF input.

I'm glad that one was relatively easy to resolve, Pete. No hardware intervention required - sigh of relief. Joe is a wealth of knowledge! 73, Mike, K8CN __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
