Here's a quick update, just to save people from sending me more replies. Right after I posted I received email from K6KR, an old friend. Dick asked the right question: "Do you have the KRX3 enabled? Hold the MENU/CONFIG button for a half second or so, then rotate VFO B to "KRX3", and VFO A to either "Ant=BNC" or "ANT=ATU". You don't want "not inst"." The answer was that it was installed, but set to "ANT=BNC". Of course! That's how Elecraft would have tested it. Once I set it to "ANT=ATU", it immediately began behaving correctly. Problem solved!

I just joined it a moment ago in an effort to get some help. I recently upgraded my K3 by adding the sub receiver to it. I built the rig myself, then used it for 5 months without the sub receiver, and just last week had the sub receiver installed and tested by Elecraft. That gives me some confidence that it should be working.except that I absolutely cannot figure out how to use it. Initially I tried to use it the same way I did the sub receiver in my old FT-1000MP, but I can tell this one doesn't work that way. If I simply tap SUB, which is what I would have expected, then the VFO B knob has no effect on what I'm hearing through the right headphone. The only way I have been able to get the sub receiver to behave like a sub receiver has been as follows: a. Set CONFIG:VFO IND to YES. Then set VFO's A and B to different bands. b. Tap SUB to turn the sub receiver on, then press and hold SUB to put it into diversity mode, then tap SUB again. If I do all of that, then I can hear a different frequency in each ear and the VFO A and VFO B knobs are respectively controlling the frequencies of what I hear in each ear. But that is nonsense! I have not been able to get the rig to do this when both are on the same band. What I want is to have both VFO's on the same band so that I can listen to the calling station on A and tune around on the pile-up with B, all the while being able to hear both frequencies. How do you do that? It is slowly becoming apparent to me that VFO A, VFO B, and SUB are three different things. I guess what I'm really asking is how do I get the VFO B knob to control the frequency of SUB? I have practically memorized pages 37-38 of the user manual and it's still not coming through for me. Help!
