[Elecraft] K3 sub receiver no signals

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Mike,

This question comes up quite often on the reflector and it is usually
incorrect antenna selection as others have commented. But there are also
several other things that could be amiss. You could have the RF gain for the
sub turned down. It's the outer ring on the RF gain knob. Assuming that you
are using headphones you should also check to see how you have the audio
gain knobs set up. They can be configured so that the outer AF knob is a sub
volume control or configured so that it is a left/right balance control.
Another thought is that you have the sub RX filters configured incorrectly.
You could also have the sub set up in diversity mode. In diversity you'll be
listening to VFO A in both ears regardless of what is displayed in VFO B.
The tip off is a blinking decimal point (the right decimal point) in the VFO
A display.

73,
