Well, Don, I finally got both modules installed. Boy do I hate working
with TMP connectors in close quarters, especially the flimsily mounted
females on boards such as the K3RXA. But that's another story. Right
now, I seem to have a problem with the K144XV. I've installed it
according to directions and have followed the setup directions on p. 20,
but I can neither receive not transmit anything on 2M. I can tune to a
2M frequency, but I can't even execute the SQL function on FM. Any
suggestions as where to start looking for the problem? Tnxs & 73, Carl,

Carl,
I think I understand why you are confused. Yes, since you already
have the rear panel with the ANT3 hole, resume about the middle of
page 12 where it begins with "Locate the TMP cable ..."
In order to tighten the BNC connector, you may find it easier to
loosen the panel and tilt it back, but if you can get whichever tool
you are using to tighten the nut on securely without removing the
panel, that is OK too. Make certain the BNC jack is adequately tight.

OK, Don, I've run into a little confusion: the bottom of page 11 of
the K144XV instructions has details about installing a new back panel
with an ANT 3 hole. However, I don't have a replacement panel and my
K3s back panel already has an ANT 3 hole. A few pages earlier the
instructions have a note to skip over some items if you have a K3s,
but this is not one of them; in fact, the skip instructions say to
resume at this point. It seems to me that I actually need to resume
somewhere down the page on page 12, but I'm having a little trouble
figuring out where. Thanks for any further help you can give me.

Carl,
The KRX3 must go in first. If you think about it, the K144XV fits
above the KRX3, so if you install the K144XV first, you will not be
able to get the KRX3 in place below it.
The K144XV instructions page 11 3rd checkbox tells you when to
install the KRX3 *if* you had removed it. This is the time to
install the KRX3.

I seem to have a dilemma. I'm getting ready to install both the
K144XV and the KRX3A in my new K3s. The respective instructions
each say to remove the other first. I've read through both
manuals, and I'm still confused on the best order to do these two
operations. I put my KRX3A together last night, and it's ready to
install after I do the other things required inside the K3s
itself. If anyone on this list has installed these two modules at
the same time, I would very much appreciate their insights before I
plunge forward. Might save me from having to backtrack because I
did a particular step prematurely. Thanks for any help anyone can
give me.
