John,
When I use my KXPA100 with my KX2, I normally leave the physical switch
on the KXPA100 in the 'off' position, as using the cable from the KX2
overrides it when the PA Mode is set to 'ON' in the KX2 menu.
In the past, when I've had an issue with the PA Mode turning off
spontaneously, I found it due to either the cable not being plugged in
properly, or something hung up in the KX2, which was solved by turning
it off and back again.
Hope that helps,
73,

I have a KX3 and the KXPA100 with the KXPA to KX3 Connector Cable. I
have
been radio "inactive" for several months and noted recently the
KXPA100's
power switch was set to on. For quite some time, I kept hearing a
recurring
tick and only realized a week ago that the KXPA100 was turning on and
off
every so many seconds.
Fast forward to this evening and I'm setting back up because, like the
procrastinator I am, I'm participating in Winter Field Day tomorrow
(from
home, long story). I better get ready, right? I connected the KX3 and
the
KXPA100, did all the things, powered on the KX3 and switched PA Mode to
"On" and exited the menu. A few seconds later, it switched out of PA
mode.
Back and forth I played that game 4-5 times and then stepped back...
- The 2.5mm tipped cable was pinched in between a case and its
cover,
but doesn't appear to be broken.
- I checked the pinouts based on the Cady book and I have continuity
in
all lines
- I connected the KXPA100 via USB serial cable and launched the KXPA
utility. There are a number of fault codes, but none that appear
when this
switches off
- No fault code appears on the "Operate" tab either
- It just... switches off
Am I overlooking something obvious? It's been 100% reliable for me for
a
good 5 years now, so I'm really unclear what could be happening.
Thanks in advance,
John O.
