Mark,
        There is a similar issue that I've seen.  Turn up the volume on
the SubRx and watch the Main RX volume output go down!  I caught this
during the NAQP RTTY as I was trying to check other bands on the SubRX
and noticed as soon as I unmuted the SubRX, the output from the Left on
the rear panel decreased.   Then I discovered it followed the SubRX
volume inversely - higher the SubRX, lower the main RX.  Strange.  I have
not seen exactly what you mention, but will check it this weekend.

        73,  Duane
