Strange Sub Receiver Problem - I must be on Ant 2 in order to receive

I was trying to use the sub receiver today while chasing T32C. I
finally realized that I was not receiving on my sub receiver.

I only have one antenna and that is connected to antenna 1.

The only way I can receive a signal on the sub receiver is if I select
ant 2, but then I lose all signals on the main receiver.

In the configuration menu I have the KRX3 set to Ant=Atu.

Any ideas what may be going on here.

Thanks

Re: Strange Sub Receiver Problem - I must be on Ant 2 in order to receive

Yes, you have your subreceiver wired to receive on the alternate jack on the
KAT3. This means that a HOLD on RX ANT will flip back and forth between the
sub RX listening on the TX antenna or on the NON-TX antenna jack.

Do a hold on RX ANT and you will see either MAIN or AUX. MAIN is the
CURRENT transmit antenna. AUX is the OTHER antenna.

73, Guy.
