Me too.

Reload your saved firmware? I have run into issue solved by reloading firmware. It is like your PC doesn't work so well when a restart dumps all the memory and reloads the OS. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Chris Hallinan Sent: Monday, March 12, 2018 6:58 PM To: Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Sub RX stopped working on 20/17 meters Hi Folks, Just learning my way around the KRX3A.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub RX stopped working on 20/17 meters
Chris, Which filters are enabled for what modes? You can check with K3 Utility. It would simplify things a bit if you moved the SUB RX filter by one slot (leaving FL1 empty). Then change the filter configuration to match using either K3 Utility or by hand in the menu. The thing that is really important is that you enable the filters for the intended modes. The display of FL1-FL5 normally refers to the main RX. Use BSET to display the filter for the subRX. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/13/2018 11:08 AM, Chris Hallinan wrote: Hmmm. Just made a new discovery.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub RX stopped working on 20/17 meters
Thanks Don, According to the K3 Utility, all four filters are enabled for Sub RX for CW, USB and LSB modes. However, I still can only receive on FL2/3. When FL1 or 4 are selected, the Sub RX S-Meter goes to zero and there is no receive on any mode. By now I am quite familiar with the BSET button ;) 73 de K1AY Chris On Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 12:00 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Chris, > > Which filters are enabled for what modes?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub RX stopped working on 20/17 meters
Hmmm. Just made a new discovery. I can get the Sub RX to work on FL2 and FL3, but not FL1 nor FL4. Here is my filter configuration: FILTER Main RX SUB RX FL1 13KHz2.7KHz FL2 2.7 1.8 FL3 1.8 500Hz FL4 500Hz250 FL5 250Hz First of, shouldn't these match for proper diversity receive? ie same filter bw in corresponding slots? Second, the SubRX *WORKS* again on 20m with FL2 or FL3 selected, but not FL1 nor FL4. Doesn't seem to matter which filter the Main RX is connected to. I tried all the combinations for Main on CW: FL2,3,4,5 - SubRX only works on FL2/3. Selecting FL1 or FL4 silences the Sub receiver.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 Sub RX stopped working on 20/17 meters
Well, I have a 20-meter vertical connected directly to the AUX RF input, and a receiving loop connected to RX IN. So unless there is a setting somewhere that somehow disconnects the antennas on 20 and 17, it's simply not working. Noone else has replied. I have placed a call to Elecraft support on this one.
