[Elecraft] new K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,

Enter BSET and look at the subRX antenna indication on the display.  Is 
it the same as that on the main RX?  If so, the sub should receive on 
the same antenna as the main RX (there is a 3 dB splitter in line).

If the sub is trying to receive on its AUX ANT input, that will be the 
BNC jack for a factory built K3.  You may change that to use the KAT3 
ANT that is not being used by the main RX by changing from the BNC input 
connector to the KAT3 by installing the extra TMP cable that was shipped 
with your K3.

So - yes, if the subRX ANT selection is the same as the main RX, you 
should hear the same thing in the sub as you hear in the mainRX.

I cannot comment on the ERR DVR messages - I will leave that for someone 
else who has experience with the DVR.

73,
Don W3FPR
