[Elecraft] How effective is VFO -B (SUB) receiver?

[Vincent OKeeffe]

Might some reader who uses (1) K-3, (2) KAT-3, the ATU and (3) the KRX3, VFO-B (SUB receiver) tell me how well the second receiver does its job?

Is the quality and strength of sound from VFO-B comparable to VFO-A when operating split?

What EXACT settings do you use for receiving on ANT 1 via VFO-A and transmitting (up two!) using VFO-B for transmitting AND receiving in SPLIT...and using the same antenna.  Not using AUX antenna?

My FT1000d gives me essentially the same audio on the left channel as in the right channel in split.

With my K3 I have very low audio from the SUB VFO-B.

Am I expecting too much from the K3?  Am I missing something in setting up the K3?
