I just went thought this process and the new KRX3 comes with the new synth. I had to pick up a new synth to replace the old one in the main receiver as they have to match. It only took 12 hours to do it all including redoing the filters in the receiver because I did not read the manual close

As long as you buy a new KRX3-A I guess it would come with a KSYN3A. 73, Yngvi TF3Y On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 12:59 AM, Russ mundschen...@msn.com wrote: All: For those of you who don't read instructions like me - remember to download and install the latest K3 utility before uploading the new

Russ, If you install the KSYN3A for the main and then add the KRX3, you must have the KSYN3A for the sub as well. You cannot mix the synthesizers - they must both be the same. Cheap/thrifty/cost effective does not matter, they both need to be the same. 73, Don W3FPR 73, Don W3FPR On

Per the KSYN3A Installation instructions: You cannot have a new KSYN3A synthesizer and the original KSYN3 in the same K3! If you have the KRX3 sub receiver installed, you must install two KSYN3A synthesizers. Mike KI0HA On 6/21/2015 7:59 PM, Russ wrote: All: For those of you who don't

As a cautionary tale, reading the instructions is really not optional with this stuff :) If you decide to install the KRX3 for example, there are lots of little gotchas in the KRX3 install that are easily avoided by reading the directions. Not doing so is certainly at your own peril. Tom
