[Elecraft] sub receiver question

[Dick Dievendorff]

Jim: I don't even notice it. The noise is similarly halved, so I just  
turn the gain to a comfortable level. The "loss" is that half the  
signal is going to each receiver.

Others can explain it more technically, but I don't notice this "loss"
