Hi All!
FYI, I finally figured my problem out (thanks to JJ Radio). For whatever
reason, on the Sub receiver PL tones were turned off. Turning it on has now
made the Sub Receiver fully operational for me. BTW, I find this odd
because I do not recall having to turn on PL tones on the Main receiver.
Whatever . . .
Many thanks & 73,
Richard KK6MRH

Are you in FM or AM on the sub side? If you're on AM you will have the
problems you're asking about I think. I believe that's FM only.
