I would bet the subreceiver has excess gain in the IF and you're
seeing amplified IF noise (particularly since the bandwidth is
about 1 KHz). I don't see any way for the K3 Utility to calibrate
main/receiver gain separately (Dick?) but I'd suggest checking the
gain calibration of the subreceiver or measuring all of the filters
only in the main receiver.
