[Elecraft] sub RX ant source shared with Main = no RX?

[Zoli Pitman HA1AG]

Hello Bill, 
 
The RX1 has Main selected
 
ANT1: Antenna connected 
 
RX ant: no ant connected
 
On main RX I hear sigs as I should. 
 
On RX2 I hear nothing when Main is selected as source if I select Aux and connect 2nd antenna to AUX conn. it receives. RX2 is works. 
 
It seems the relay marked as K1 on Fig 2 on Page 42 of the current manual is not connecting main ant to RX2 input when it is selected.
 
I guess one of the cables inside the rig is disconnected but I donát want to open up the rig 3 hrs before the contest starts. 
 
tnx, 
 
Zoli ha1ag

What is the Main antenna setting?  ANT1 or RX ANT?

What are your connections to ANT1, RX ANT (BNC) and AUX RF (BNC)?  

If RX ANT is selected for the Main RX, but nothing is connected to the RX
ANT BNC input, then nothing will be connected to Sub when MAIN is selected.
