[Elecraft] K3 Subreceiver ANT selection doesn't work - always uses the AUX antenna

[Frank R. Oppedijk]

Barry,

Thanks for your suggestions. Indeed, when I toggle BSET ANT I see 
"MAIN" and "AUX" alternately. You mention a possible faulty relay. 
Should there be an audible relay click when toggling BSET ANT I 
between "MAIN" and "AUX"? When I do that, there is no relay click whatsoever...

73,

Frank PA4N
