The R5 is of course useless as a transmit antenna on 40, but it picks up enough signal for receive (no tuner on it). Haven't put any extra roofing filters in the second receiver, and with the lower received signal strength on the vertical I doubt that I will need to.

Surely I am missing something in the Utility? (Running the latest Utility and the latest firmware.)

There should be a radio buttons in the bottom-left corner of the
Cyrstal Filter COnfiguration dialog that allow you to select "Main"
or "Sub Receiver"... ?
