Rob,
Hopefully, you'll get better answers from others but I'm going to guess that you meant a 2nd (SUB) receiver and not a "second channel". I have installed three 2nd receivers in the K3s I used to own and you need to make sure all the coax cables are well seated into their proper ports. It is very easy to think it is engaged but it just isn't inserted quite enough. You also need to make sure the center pins of those cable are not bent if someone has pressed too hard while misaligned. I'll assume you also have the upgraded SYNTH boards (one for the main RX and another for the SUB) as well because those cables need to be fully seated in the correct ports. It is easy to look at the installation picture up-side-down and get the cables backwards. Double check those. The second receiver also has a row of pins underneath it that can be misaligned since it is almost a blind insertion. Make sure those pins are correctly engaged. You might need a dental mirror type device to actually see it under there. If you also have the KAT3 tuner, that's another cable that needs to be checked to ensure it is seated completely and not missing entirely. I'm sure you'll find the issue after some poking around looking for loose connections. Good luck, Bob K5WA Message: 9 Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2021 12:34:42 -0400 From: Toast <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Transmit Issue Message-ID: <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I recently installed the second channel and general coverage receive options on my k3 with the 100w transmitter. I have double checked the settings but get now transmit power. Any ideas on what the issue is?
