Re: [Elecraft] K3s Low sub receiver volume

2018-02-07 Thread Scott
You may want to check that NR is the same (on or off) for both receivers. In my experience you may have NR off for the main and NR on for the sub. That will give you a "lower volume" for the sub. Also, check the attenuater is the same for both receivers too. Scott AD5HS On 2/7/2018 9:32
