K3S Sub - No Signals

Byron Peebles
I have found myself again in this mode where pressing the SUB button
reveals white noise but no signals.
When I flick the A/B or hold the BSET buttons, they are really LOUD.  
But noting on SUB.

I have checked that the antenna is correct (same as MAIN (ANT1), the RF
GAIN and AF GAIN are up, and there are no words or icons in the display
to suggest I have something else set.

When this happened to me and the radio was new, it was the wrong ANT,
not not this time.

Any suggestions?  It's a pain tracking the TX3X guys without SUB giving
me signals.

73, Byron

Re: SOLVED: K3S Sub - No Signals

Once again, this was the antenna selection.
I found that PHONE was set to a different ANT than SSB on some bands.
When I squint at the display it says ANT, which looks a lot like ANT1.
My suggestion would be this appear more like the FILTER display with [ 1
x x ] or something more obvious.
Since I've tripped over it doesn't seem I'm compatible.

Both the P3 and KPA seemed to transmit, which is what confused me.
