Great minds, Grant. That's my next step.

As I said in the OP, this was a rig bought secondhand.

    Have you checked the installation of the receiver module?  Meaning that the 
two small riser modules that it plugs into are properly seated to the main RF 
board and the KRX3.  I had a dead sub-receiver problem once.  I had been in the 
radio at some point to install an update.  When reinstalling the KRX3, I had 
pinched one of the coax cables that’s in the vicinity of the riser nearest the 
front of the radio and pulled the cable out of it’s socket when reinserting the 
KRX3,  far enough not to work, but not so far that I noticed it until the next 
time I tried using the sub.

    Just one more idea of something to look at.
