[Elecraft] 2nd receiver only delivers hiss

[WILLIS COOKE]

Sometimes I think I need to read the entire manual before every use.  As another writer posted, the RX ANT button works just as well.  I almost missed K5D on 12 meters because I had the transmitter in LSB and could not figure out what was wrong.  Then it took a bit to  remember  what to do about it.  The K3 is smarter than my previous TS-850, but it did not carry over to me!
