[Elecraft] K3 Sub Receiver

[Ken K6MR]

It’s a common problem with documentation for just about everything these days.  Luckily with pdf files it’s pretty easy to add notes or edit things yourself.

And of course when all else fails there is always the group.  Something about the group being smarter than any individual!

Ken

Thanks for replying quickly.

I am reading the current (D10 version) manual, but on looking at your reply I decided to check out the errata – and there it is :-

< Pg. 14 (VFO Tuning Controls): Holding SUB now turns diversity receive on/off. To link VFOs, use CONFIG:VFO LNK >

And it works fine of course.

It would have saved me hours of head scratching if someone at Elecraft had updated the manual ……………

You are reading an old description of the SUB button.  A firmware change made the long press of SUB the activation of Diversity.  Linking is done through the config menu.

Hello all

I have a K3 with the sub-receiver installed, and working. But .........

The handbook says < Holding SUB links the VFOs (whether the sub
receiver is on or off). The kHz decimal point of
VFO B flashes as a reminder. VFO A is the master,
moving both VFOs in tandem. >

I cannot get this to work. I can get the sub rx to be on or off (by tapping
SUB), and I can get Diversity to work as well (with a long hold of SUB).

What other settings can there be on the radio that make it impossible to
select moving both VFO's in tandem ? - which is exactly what I want.

Thanks, and seasons greetings !
