Hi. I have a 6700, now when I put an RX antenna to port "RX-A in" it works fine, good signal etc but if I change the same RX antenna to port "RX-B in" and select RX-B the received signal is very low and just hear from it. very odd.

Thanks

    Hi John, do you have the RF Gain, Audio Gain and AGC-T set the same in B as you have in A?

    Hi Ken. Yes I made sure both were set the same, if I turn the rf gain up to +40 on the RX B I get a low signal but nothing like RX A is. its as if RX B is deaf, even the transverter port woks perfect.

    Thanks.

    Hi John, No worries, I get Ken, Glen, Ben... 😀

    It sounds like a problem with the radio. I would submit a helpdesk ticket.

    John - I'm not sure if this has a bearing on your question, but if you have your internal ATU engaged this might answer your question. Take a look at the Flex 6700 block diagram on page 40 of the Flex-6000 Hardware Reference Manual This diagram shows the common switch connection on the RX A Out switch routing back make a connection before the ATU, in other words the RXA connection runs through the ATU. Now follow the connection from the RX B Out common switch and you'll notice it does not go through the ATU, but rather goes directly to the ANT2 Relay.

    If your internal ATU is engaged perhaps this is why you are noticing lower signal on RX B. (Of course if your internal ATU in in the bypass mode, there shouldn't be a difference.)
