[Elecraft] Fw: K3 sub receiver no signals

[mikefurrey at att.net]

Also check the external cable to the radio. When I replaced my FT1000 with a
K3 (best move in the ham shack ever ... but I gotta say the FT1000 served me
well for 20 years), the the short section of cable from the external rx
antenna switch box to the K3 went bad. I took the K3 apart first thinking I
did not plug something in or an internal cable was not correctly seated.

I saw that someone else suggested checking all the cabling.  Good idea.
Also, press the "A>B" switch twice quickly (should see "A>B ALL" in VFO
B window) to make sure both main and sub are on same freq, filters etc.

Oh, yeah, lyou DID turn ON the Sub-rec'ver.  Didn't you?

Let's see, check internal cabling, Antenna, settings.  Oh, how is your
RF/AF gain controls set up.  I have separate RF gains, but the AF gains
are set up so that the little knob is volume, and the larger one is a
fader.  How are your set up?
