[Elecraft] K3 Panadapter / SoftRock

[Bill W5WVO]

This brings up a question I asked a while back, and I don't think it made it 
into the FAQ. In a dual-receiver K3, does the IF pickup port reflect the IF of 
only the main receiver? Is it switchable between receivers? Or is there a 
separate IF port on the subreceiver?
