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

[Barry Simpson]

Hi Vince

I have the sub receiver and it is indistinguishable from the main receiver
when I have both set to the same bandwidth. I suspect that you may have the
attenuator on and/or the pre-amp off in the sub receiver if the difference
is so great.
