Use a 5" or 6" TMP cable and hook it from J6 on the KREF3 (same as old synth) to either J83 or J1 on the KSYN3A. 73, Rich AC7MA On 06/12/2016 09:29 AM, Michael Murphy wrote: I am about to install a new synthesizer board in my K3. I do not have the 2nd rx or a 2 meter module. I am not clear

It would be the graphic in figure 12 on page 15 of the instructions. It hooks up with just one tmp cable and the long one isn't used. It all looked like spaghetti to me too when I did the upgrade on my K3, but that's the figure that shows the hookup for no 2 meter module and no 2nd RX. 73, L

I am about to install a new synthesizer board in my K3. I do not have the 2nd rx or a 2 meter module. I am not clear on which connector(s) to hook the tmp connector(s) to. The instructions seem to be more geared toward installing it with the 2nd rx and/or the 2 meter module. What am I missing?

And also make sure you download and follow the revised instructions and Errata from the Elecraft website. Do NOT follow the printed instructions shipping with the boards (unless they match the website revisions). Note also that if you have the 2-meter phase-lock option, the REF OUT cable is

The install in two K3s, each with one receiver, went well. Make sure you connect the cable to the correct port on the ksyn3a. Don't ask me why. The K3 is the greatest! 73, Steve, k4fj __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qt

I’m a very satisfied K3 owner. Today I installed the two KSYN3A boards according to the documentation. My K3 has the internal 2 meter transverter (K144XV) installed, so I had a few extra steps to perform above a 2-board, no transverter configuration. I got hung up a few minutes on page 14.
