Re: [Elecraft] Getting the sub to work on 20M
Did the VCO calibration on the Sub receiver go OK? On 1/26/2012 8:26 PM, Cady, Fred wrote: Hi Gary, Sure sounds like the sub receiver is using a different antenna than the main when on 20 meters.

[Elecraft] Getting the sub to work on 20M
K3 sub Rx installed. I rarely use the Rx antenna on the upper bands but today went to work TN2T on 20 SSB to work split and discovered I don't hear anything Rf wise coming from the sub Rx. I have no problems with the sub hearing independently on the other bands used it to find the right split on 10M it works fine on the lower bands, seems like it's confined to 20M.

Re: [Elecraft] Getting the sub to work on 20M
Hi Gary, Sure sounds like the sub receiver is using a different antenna than the main when on 20 meters. The antenna configuration is kept on a per-band basis so it could be different on 20 than on the other bands. What I'd think I'd do is tap AB twice to make sure all the filters are the same in each receiver (maybe try some different filter width settings to make sure something hasn't gone wrong with the sub rx's filter configuration). Then make sure the sub is using the same antenna as the main. In B-Set, tap ANT to select ANT1 or ANT2, which ever is being used by the main.
