[Elecraft] KX3 - Pandapter woes

[MontyS]

I had identical problem.  I was, however, trying to use a 4-conductor plug 
instead of a 3-conductor plug for the 2.5mm ->3.5mm adapter.  The tip did 
not make contact, giving the symptoms you describe.  It should have worked 
but didn't.  Changing to a 3-conductor plug, all is well.

Buck,

Time to isolate.

Connect up the KX3 2.5 mm jack to the EMU-0202 as normal.

Instead of running NaP3, run an application that lets you see or hear
each channel of the EMU-0202. Maybe one of the apps that was bundled
with the EMU, or maybe one of the many sound editor programs.  Maybe
NaP3 lets you do this, I don't know.  The whole idea is to see which
channel of the EMU is getting audio fromthe KX3.

Now, swap the cables at the EMU-0202.  Since this uses a pair of 6.5 mm
mono jacks, they are easy to swap.  See if the prtoblem moves to the
other channel.  If so, verify the cable with an ohmmeter -- the problem
is the cable or the KX3.  If not, the problem is the EMU-0202.

Finally, if it is the cable or the KX3, do the usual jiggling of the
cable, etc. to see if it is just poor contact or ?

Hope this helps, sorry for the problem you are having.
