I built my K3/10 and installed the KRX3 with no issues of different 
audio levels.

BTW running both Rx with dual LP-Pan on MAP65v2.3 sw shows the audio 
level on a bar graph for each (when in diversity mode).

Two things were recently done to improve use of the 
LP-Pan:  1)  Enabling an open filter position in the K3 and KRX3 
eliminates gain "suck out" by roofing filter which is connected in 
parallel with the IF output jack.  It shows as a dip in gain on a 
panadaptor spectrum display at center freq.  2)  Installed 32.860 MHz 
xtal in LP-Pan which is 4x the IF freg of 8.215 MHz which eliminates 
the previous +6 KHz freq. off set in the display sw (thanks to Larry, N8LP).

My 2m-eme dual-polarity adaptive receive system will get a work-out 
in this weekend's eme contest.  It extensively uses the dual-Rx 
diversity reception mode of the K3.
