I often find the second receiver switching to ANT 2, which on my K3 is a dummy load. Easy to diagnose and fix using BSET, but a bit annoying. Tom W4KX Sent from my iPad > On Mar 22, 2019, at 11:59 AM, KE8G wrote: > > Hi All, > I need some suggestions on where to start trouble shooting. I

Thanks to all respondents. To clear up one point... "Migration," as per Elecraft, means to transfer whatever components in a K3 that will work to a K3S. In my case, just filters. I end up with a new K3S and the original K3, ie two radios. I have never operated SO2V in a contest. So, my

Byron, First, it is not possible to transmit on the Sub - it is receive only. I don't know what you mean by have the signals on both the main and sub-receivers - if you turn on the SUB, you will have the main in one ear and the SubRX in the other. You can hear signals in the main RX, and

I think this is another un-learning experience for me, coming from a radio with two big knobs. It makes sense to reverse the way I used the VFOs in the past, so I have to learn the mechanics of quickly going split, locking the Sub, and working the VFO A DX-receive frequency. I have seen this

Yes. During 6M E-skip season, my K3 is usually monitoring either 50.125 or 50.276 in the main RX, with the sub-RX in the CW band, and the P3 displaying 50.080 to 50.280. With this setup, I'll quickly see any band activity. The 50.276 RX will feed WSJT-X. Once short-sequence ISCAT-B gains more
