Well I did learn something today. Like many I waited until the 2nd receiver was available adding it to my K3 and had not even attempted to use it for dual receive split operation until yesterday. On 20 meters working the K5D when I would turn the sub on I would hear an increase in noise & a rumbling sound that was very distracting. I checked to ensure both receivers were same bandwidth, agc, volume etc. Not figuring it out I contacted Support & was advised to check the REF CAL & VCO CAL. This did not fix it.
Here was the simple solution that I stumbled upon that's in the menu, I changed SUB AF from NOR to BALANCE. Now all is well. 73 de KE4WY Jim -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill W4ZV Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2009 11:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 phones - separate left/right volume adjustment?

In this case the MAIN AF GAIN controls the AF gain level for both receivers. When SUB AF is at 12 o clock, both receivers will be at full volume (main left, sub right). If SUB AF is rotated fully counter-clockwise, youll hear only the main receiver. If its rotated fully clockwise, youll hear only the sub receiver. At intermediate settings youll hear both. A BALANCE control is very useful for contesting and split operation. But it can also save a lot of AF gain control tweaking (i.e., matching main and sub), since MAIN AF controls both main and sub receiver audio. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-phones---separate-left-right-volume-adjustment--tp23 63403p2364244.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
