Hi gang,
Lots of neat stuff going across here so let me add to the problem diagnosis list. I have a K3 SN 763 that is giving me fits. Multiple fits if you will. First of all i only get audio out of the stereo line out jacks when the active receiver is shown under the "SUB" menu. Or i susppse VFO B. I get nothing to the stereo line out jack when i'm using the A rail or VFO. Now i can get stereo audio out of the Stereo headphone jack if i gently push the jack in and wiggle it around. sounds like a bad jack to me. But i digress, at least that tells me that the headphones are good. I've not pulled any covers off YET!. Second problem. I like 6 meters and the radio performs rather well up there. Best thing that's happened to me in years, radio wise. Anyway, If i use 6 meters on the A vfo everything is peachy keen. If i shift it to the B then i hear a spur of some sort every 6 kc throughout the band. Really gets annoying. Now if i put the 6 meter antenna on the rear Rec In Ant the spurs go way donw in level but are still there. The radio is equipped with 2 receivers and a variety of filters. Doesn't seem to be anything that i can do to get rid of those spurs except to operate 6 meters on the A VFO all the time but then i don't have any audio coming out of the Line out jack to make my WSJT, ARGO, DM780 work. It only come out of the B vfo side which is where the 6 kc spurs come from. Otherwise the radio is really a great piece of engineering and i love it. Good looking as well with a bit of a steep learning curve for us guys getting up in years. Any suggestions other than operate 6 meters on the A vfo only? Btw, i to had the scratchy VFO noise when tuning around on 10 mtrs but i've not made the mod yet. I hate to keep pulling covers off of radios every other day to fix yet another problem. Not that this will happen but since i've got several of them, might as well wait and see if i can get a good fix for more than one at a time. Thanks in advance for your ear.
