[Elecraft] 2nd RX is deaf

I have a few questions to people who have the 2nd RX option fitted.

My 2nd RX seems to be deaf, the difference between the two S meters is 
if the main RX is showing S9, the second will show S1-2.
I installed my 2nd RX about 3 weeks ago and due being busy I have not 
played around with it until today.
I have set everything up in the manual as prescribed, all filter 
settings are the same as in 1st RX as I have mirrored the filtering.

The difference in the volume looking at the volume knobs is about 90 
degrees, the 2nd RX volume knob being the one which is turned louder.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head which I have missed or 
which is obvious and I'm looking to you guys if you had a similar problem.

I use ANT 1 socket for the main RX and ANT 2 socket for the 2nd RX. I 
can share ANT 1 with 2nd RX. Using the sharing scheme the signals are 
significantly different as described S9 & S1-2.
I have also swapped the antennas around and there has been no difference 
which eliminates the antenna switching unit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
