[Elecraft] Diversity / aux RX problem

[Tony G6GLP]

Hi Guys,

I built my K3 a couple of years ago complete with second RX. Until now I 
have only used the ANT 1 and ANT 2  inputs but thought I would try some 
diversity. Having an inv L mainly set for top band and  40m dipole I 
thought I might move the 40m dipole to the RX AUX port and listen to the 
diversity system.

Now no matter how I play / switch things the RX AUX port sound is dead. 
I know the antenna is good because I can plug it into the unused ANT 
port and rx on both the INV L and dipole with slightly different 
reception. putting the set into diversity holding the SUB button for a 
couple of sec shows diversity and the rx goes stereo in the headphones. 
What I dont get is the sub channel audio no matter what I do with the RX 
ANT switch. Just for completeness I can rx two things one on vfo A and 
another on vfo B in contests etc.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have a hardware fault or event a 
build issue from the start.  I should be able to set with just one 
antenna in the RX port and get at least one channel working but this is 
a failure. Any suggestions?
