[Elecraft] KSYN3A dead?
Hi everyone, today I turned on my K3 and I can't receive any signal in any band. Then I tried to tune and power out is 0.0w. My k3 has two ksyn3a, but in the menu I see DDS FRQ and VCO MD; also tapping DISP I see PLL1 and PLL2 (with value ranging from 2.9 to 3.1) So it looks like the K3 doesn't recognize the two syn. Fw rew is 5.14 Any hint? I have not opened it yet. I have the old PLL if needed thanks IU3AZC Enrico __ 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] KSYN3A dead?
Hi Enrico, The correct status for KSYN3A boards in TECH MD: ON is OK! So you should see SYN1 OK and SYN2 OK if you have both installed. The latest KSYN3A boards should work with 5.14 or later. Please open K3 and at first check if your cables are connected to right boards (not swapped by accident) and if all connectors are properly plugged in and have proper contacts please. It is common issue the TMP connectors has bad contact on the synths boards. Hope it helps, 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KSYN3A-dead-tp7605860p7605868.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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] KSYN3A dead?
Hi Petr, I have two ksyn installed, and both worked fine for some months. I did not open my K3 in the last weeks, and two days ago my K3 was ok, so this happened without touching anything. An italian OM had another problem with a deprogrammed SYN. I wonder if Elecraft is aware of this and who's gonna pay the cost to reprogram it? thanks for the reply 73 de Enrico IU3AZC Il 04/08/2015 16:55, ok1rp ha scritto: Hi Enrico, The correct status for KSYN3A boards in TECH MD: ON is OK!

Re: [Elecraft] KSYN3A dead?
Hi Enrico, aha, so it sounds like more serious issue. I never heard about the issue with erased synthesizer but if it happened to your friend then its time to contact Elecraft. I am so sorry that I can not help you more my friend. Let us know please about the progress. best regards, 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KSYN3A-dead-tp7605860p7605870.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ 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
