[Elecraft] help configuring the sub receiver

[W7TEA]

I hesitate to reply cuz my experience is so limited.  Try this if you haven't
already--

Turn on the SUB, turn on B SET, hit the ANT button until Main appears.  When
my rig came back from Aptos after a sub rx install, it was connected to the
Aux
antenna instead of the Main.
