Larry,
Read the PX3 OSB null procedure carefully.
Check/do the following:
1) Clean the cable connectors contact area with alcohol applied to a clean cloth, removing oil, grease, dirt, ect. Cleaning the connector in the KX3/PX3 is more of an issue, and I haven’t found a good way to clean those. I use 91% isopropyl available at any drug store.
2) Ensure the cables are plugged and seated in completely
3) Make sure f/w setting RX-SHIFT is set to NOR. This is a per-band setting. I had trouble on a single band with obtaining a good null, and this turned out to be the issue. This is not noted in the nulling instructions.
4) Make sure f/w setting DUAL RX is set to OFF. This is a per-band setting. Suspect this could also cause an issue.
Bonding the two chassis will also help (Don).
I have had trouble with these connections many times, as just moving the cables can spoil the PX3 OSB Rejection.
