I think this only works if there is an ATU.

In other words if you have the ATU and have ANT1 selected as the transmit antenna you can select ANT2 for receive. It may be that setting is set to ANT2 when it should be ANT1. However, I believe the K3 is smart enough to know that ANT1 is the only one available when there is no ATU installed.

> The documentation around this is a bit confusing, but my understanding is that this setting defines where the SUB gets its AUX antenna feed from. It can either be BNC (the Aux RF socket on the back panel), or (if you have the ATU installed and therefore two ANT sockets) it can get it from whichever ANT socket is not being used by MAIN. As I do not have ATU installed, the only option that works is bnc.
