[Elecraft] lower signal levels between KXV3A In and AUX RF in on K3

[Bill OMara]

Joe, Yes the Aux jack is selected.

But, no I don't think I changed to switch to the Sub RX to display.

Let me look at that and see if that's the problem.

Thanks

Is the AUX RF jack *selected* when you enable the Sub RX in those K3s with
the Sub RX?

When measuring the S-Meter reading are you switching it to display the Sub
RX (B SET)?
