RX only Ant Select Problem

Dick-2
Have RX ant to Aux BNC.  Under config have KRX3 = BNC, according to
manual. Not working. What am I missing in the setup and of config? Front
panel select options?

TIA  Dick

  Dick,

Do you have the SubRX Aux Antenna connector cable going to the KAT3 or
to the rear panel BNC connector.  The menu is set according to how the
physical installation is wired.
If you have a factory built K3 (and you have not changed it), the cable
to the AUX BNC jack is connected (and you were shipped a TMP cable to
use if you wanted to change it).

Hi Dick,

The Sub RX can use either the Main antenna or the Aux antenna (BNC). This selection is in addition to the config that you described. There are 2 ways to view which antenna is being used by the Sub RX. Press SUB from off to on and momentarily read either "MAIN" or "AUX" on the lower line. Another way, when the SUB is already on is to hold the B SET button. MAIN or AUX again displays momentarily.

If the SUB is already on you can change the antenna selection by holding the RX ANT button. Another way to change the selection is to press B SET when the SUB is on and then press the ANT button.
