[Elecraft] KRX3 Audio Seems Down a Bit from the Main Rx

[Harrison F. Hooker]

Hello Dave,

Yes I am having a similar problem with my K3 Sub Rec trying to share the
same antenna with the main receiver.  I was just getting ready to e-mail
Elecraft Tech Support with a request for help.  I will now post this request
for information here first.

My K3 (0166) WAS factory built and the sub receiver factory installed.  I
have not yet gone inside.

My Sub receiver Audio worked very well at first but the Audio started to
drop to less than 05% of the main receiver audio on some operating sessions.
Because the Sub Audio worked fine at times (even with Beta 2.67) I assumed
that I had a CONFIG Menu problem where the Sub Receiver was not getting an
RF signal from the Main Antenna. I also thought that HamRadioDeluxe might
have changed the CONFIG Menu when it shut down.

Bottom line for me is that now my Sub Receiver audio is about 05% as strong
as the Main Receiver audio (it was perfect a few days ago).

73, Harrison W8YMO
