Re: [Elecraft] KX3 volume control inop
Jerry, Can you change the monitor/sidetone level? How about the RF Gain? If not, check the ribbon cable inside - unplug and reseat. If still no solution, it is possible you have a bad encoder. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/13/2020 11:14 AM, Jerry Ford wrote: Good morning all: I'm having a rough day today and I need some advise.

[Elecraft] KX3 volume control inop

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 volume
Hello Michael, If you are listening on any band higher than 40m on the KX3, you should probably have the preamp engaged. If I recall correctly, there are recommendations in the User Manual regarding the preamp. 73, Dale - WA8SRA On Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 4:38 PM Michael St.James via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Help!

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 volume
Michael, Is it an RF problem or an audio problem? Do an S-meter comparison with your other radios (the preamp should be on, the KX3 design assumes the preamp is on). If the S-meter is OK, then determine if it is a speaker problem only. Check with headphones. Since it has been unused for a time, there may be oxidation on the connectors - unplug and reseat the connectors to wipe oxidation from the contacts. If none of that reveals anything enlightening, contact supp...@elecraft.com. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/31/2019 4:37 PM, Michael St.James via Elecraft wrote: Help! My KX3 has little to no speaker volume.
