[Elecraft] K3S fun and games

[HP]

Gareth --Maybe I missed this- But I have suffered thru the fun of SUB rx inbot K3 anmd K3s .. 

Maybe I missed it but I have never seen anything that says you can or cannot hear a SIGNAL 
in the SUB RX audio .All I have seen is you hear "noise" Forget all the ant possibilities -- 

Fire up your K2 so you have a S9 signal in the shack on the MAIN and see if you hear 
a carrier from the SUB preferably in CW or USB/LSB so there is a beat note. 
My K3 or K3S sub rx will hear a S9 50 uv signal on40 fed into ANT1 when SUB switched to RX (My SUB ant is on BNC) 
at 1uv into ANT 1 its ESP -my K3 is almost dead quiet with no ant and RF/AF wide open (AF gain LO.) 
I just checked and it made no difference if I switched the KRX3 to BNC or ANT 


Just repeated the exact same on K3S and does exactly the same. 

BTW when I assembled my K3 it was dead and it was a bad KXV3 module -which Elecraft replaced virtually overnight . 
Which reminds me seems like you have to cut some jumpers when you install a SUB dunno if the guy you bought it from 
did it himself or it came from factory. 

If you dont hear any sig from the SUB -then its back to TMP cables or Filter set up-connection or NB module pins etc .

Thanks, Mike 
It's a K3S, so it has the upgraded KSYN3As
