If I select SUB-RX Ant source Main instead of AUX, it does not rx anyting. When I select AUX it works fine from the AUX. According to the manual The K1 relay should be engaged then sharing the Main ant between the two RXs (latest manual page 42 fig 2). When I change it to Aux it receives fine from that port.

What is the Main antenna setting?  ANT1 or RX ANT?

What are your connections to ANT1, RX ANT (BNC) and AUX RF (BNC)?  

If RX ANT is selected for the Main RX, but nothing is connected to the RX ANT BNC input, then nothing will be connected to Sub when MAIN is selected.
