KRX3 vs K3 rx sensitivity , one band only (30m)

[Allan Taylor]

I finally emerged from a very busy spring and had a chance today to go
over operation of the KRX3 in my K3.
 Joe, KB8AP, came over and we played for most of the afternoon. Things
are just peachy except that we
noticed on 30m (only) that the KRX3 is consistently much less
sensitive on 30m than the main RX. Other
bands appear to be operating correctly. We tried all combinations of
input antennas, etc. Filters are identical.
All settings apparently identical.

In fact, this discrepancy won't likely be a major issue for me, but I
would like to figure out what's up and get it
fixed!

K3 S/N 740, factory updated with KRX3 in April. Identical filters in
both. Running 3.19 firmware now but
behavior identical to that of April (2.??).

Any ideas??

Are you sure the preamp state is the same for both receivers?  Remember
it is band-specific.  (I was caught by this once. :=)
