[Elecraft] Sub Receiver RTTY Decode

I am using a Navigator interface with an Elecraft K3.  The Navigator is 
connected to the K3 with a factory made cable.  The system works great 
on channel one with HRD/MMTTY/MixW software.
I would like to be able to decode RTTY received on VFO B of the K3 when 
working DX split.  The K3 line out has the right channel as VFO B audio 
and the Navigator cable has a wire for channel 2.  I have tried MMTTY 
selecting the right channel on the options misc menu.  I have also tried 
MixW using the /2 parameter when launching the program for 2 channel 
operation.  HRD shows a left and right channel on the sound card screen 
but I don't see any way to set it in the program options.
No matter what program or options I try adjusting, the channel 2 control 
on the Navigator does not cause the audio on channel 2 to increase from 
zero.  I don't know if the Navigator channel 2 is broken or if I am 
missing something in the setup or is it just not possible to do what I 
am trying to do.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who have successfully set up a 
Navigator and K3 to decode RTTY from VFO B on channel 2.
