Gary gave you good advice Bruce. I'd check two other things: 1. Go into the config menu for KRX3 and check that it's set for Ant=Atu in your case.
2. Check that your subrx filters are set up properly. I recommend using the Elecraft K3 Utility - Configuration - Edit Crystal Filters and select "Sub Receiver" and make sure your filters are enabled properly. 73, Barry N1EU W7TEA wrote: > > I hesitate to reply cuz my experience is so limited.
