Re: [Elecraft] Struggling with diversity mod
Udo, happy to hear that it was not the real problem just bad config. Not SRU my friend as we can draw a lesson from that issue... check the config after the sw update first. Many thanks for sharing it. 73 - Petr, OK1RP - http://ok1rp.blogspot.com -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Struggling-with-diversity-mod-tp7606199p7606237.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] Struggling with diversity mod
Problem solved. Internal antenna routing messed up completely after upgrading to the latest firmware. I've reloaded an old configuration saved with a very old firmware (from May 2013) after the upgrade. That was a bad idea. Call me SRU... (stupid radio user) :-) ... my fault. Thanks to all that replied. 73 Udo, DK5YA Am 11.08.2015 um 13:11 schrieb Udo Langenohl - DK5YA: Sorry, forgot to mention: it's a K3 (serial 59xx) issue here.

Re: [Elecraft] Struggling with diversity mod
Brian, it is MCU 5.29 from June 16. 2015. I didn't try the latest beta yet. Before I roll back to a former FW I'd like to share my thoughts and experiences cause its perhaps me doing something wrong. 73 Udo, DK5YA Am 11.08.2015 um 13:34 schrieb brian: Hi Udo, Very nice setup. You don't say what firmware you are using. Can you revert back to an earlier version? If earlier firmware version works then you can blame the new firmware. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 8/11/2015 11:11 AM, Udo Langenohl - DK5YA wrote: Sorry, forgot to mention: it's a K3 (serial 59xx) issue here.

Re: [Elecraft] Struggling with diversity mod
Make sure that you have correctly set the RX states controlled with RX ANT and ANT. Sometimes when you upgrade firmware, things like which antenna you were listening on get lost. 73, Guy K2AV.
