I've never heard of this happening before, Jack. I'd suggest uninstalling the 2-meter module to see if that is causing the problem. If so, my guess would be a damaged connector pin or component. Wayne N6KR On Aug 21, 2014, at 4:46 PM, Jack Spitznagel wrote: > PROBLEM: The HI CUR warning sta

Question for Wayne and those KX3 gurus who have installed the 2M module: Installation and setup seemed to go well, however I did have the 44.000/22.000 display issue that has been previously described. It was cured using the suggestion from the list here. After an hour of tuning around and spo

The newer Trimble Thunderbolt requires +24VDC, but some of the older units on E-Bay, etc. may require +5VDC, +12VDC and -12VDC, which can be obtained from a simple/inexpensive power supply. (I used a Meanwell NET-35B). It outputs a 10MHz sine wave (which plugs into the K3EXREF) as well as 1pps logi

Problem solved! Tnx for all the responses. After lots of trail&error (only errors) I fired up my TR7 and hooked it up to my PC. SAME problem. But I did get one QRZ! So they did hear me. A wild guess. I replace the sound card in my PC. FIXED!! :-) The line out of the other card is damaged

They are still available on eBay: search "Nortel Trimbleā€ and the first item that comes up is a complete unit with GPS antenna. I bought one and it works perfectly and produces a 10 Mhz output for the K3EXREF board. Needs a 24 VDC supply. GUI software is available from KE5FX website. 73, Charle
