[Elecraft] VFO B receive not heard in headphones with SUB on (SOLVED!)

Mike, thank you very much! The problem was as I suspected, operator error! The outer AF knob was fully counter clockwise.  Restoring this knob to the 12:00 position restored VFO reception in my right ear.  It must have gotten knocked by someone using my rig at Field Day.  What a relief!

73, Jeff
