Grant,
Re-do the S-meter Cal on the main receiver. There seems to be some
confusion on this topic, but there is only *one* set of S-meter
calibration settings (at least that is the way it is right now). So
when you thought you were calibrating the subRX S-meter, you likely
messed up the settings for both the main RX and the sub - I can't say
for certain but I think it has something to do with the 3 dB pad and
athe variety of ways to connect the subRX antenna..
