dual RX anomaly?

David F. Reed-2
I note an apparent anomaly with my K3 using dual RX...

say I tune to 24.953.43 with both main and sub; in the main RX I hear a
tone (apparently a spurious signal, as no antenna is connected).  I do
not hear it on the sub receiver; if I swap A/B it stays with the main.  
If I tune main or sub off slightly for a different pitch, it tracks main
only.

Is it possible I have a slight spur that only affects the main RX?

Any thoughts?

FWIW, its not a big problem; when I connect an antenna, it is barely
detectable through the noise.

Thoughts?

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV

Re: dual RX anomaly?

David Gilbert

The subreceiver is much better shielded than the main.  When I first got
my K3 (#2623) last winter I had loud spurs all over the place in the
main receiver (even after carefully optimizing cable placement) but the
very few that I could hear in the subreceiver were weak.

SIG RMV took care of everything, of course.
