Sub Receive

[Richard Thorpe]

I have my sub receiver connected to a "receive only" antenna through the BNC connector on the K3 rear, the coax from the BNC goes to the second receiver board.  I assume this is the only way a signal can get to the sub receiver? a signal cannot be routed via the ATU to the sub receive board? Thank you.

Not true, but it requires hardware reconfiguration. See the KRX3
manual, page 24:

Also see the section on antenna routing in the K3 manual.
