[Elecraft] K3: Sub receiver goes silent at narrow bandwidth

2015-03-12 Thread Chuck Teague via Elecraft
My first post on this didn't make it to the list due to clerical error on my 
part, so here is attempt two.
The sub-receiver in my K3 is equipped with a 2.7 5 pole filter in position 1, 
and a 400Hz 8 pole in position 5.  All works well until I narrow the bandwidth 
to 400 Hz, then the sub-receiver goes quiet (the main continues to work 
normally.)  I used the K3 utility to set filter 5 bandwidth both narrower and 
wider, and wherever it is configured is where the receiver goes quiet.
I can't find anything in the archives about this particular problem, but 
thought I would seek the group collective wisdom before tearing into the radio. 
Thanks,
Chuck Teague, NN7U

Hi Wayne, 
No new synth.  I first noticed the problem when using diversity, but it
persists when the receivers are separated.  I'm thinking it is probably a
construction or installation problem and wanted to know if there are known
errors that would cause this.

This could be a bug. Are you using new synths? Diversity mode?
