FTM-350 deaf on "SUB" BAND

New to me FTM350. I updated the V1.6 firmware when I got it.
I have APRS set up on the R-Side. When I have that side as the MAIN band it broadcasts to the beacon and receives as expected. But while doing this the SUB BAND which is set to a local repeater, is deaf. (My FT3D on the table beside me receives traffic on the repeater.) If I switch the MAIN to the left side, it picks up the repeater traffic, but the APRS goes deaf.

I have tried APRS R-Side Fix and APRS SUB BAND.
Any suggestions?

(The sub band side of the radio is deaf to simplex also with my HT.)

Thanks,
Daniel
 

Check your filter settings...maybe too narrow...attenuator (S) possibly on...check setting(s)... The Sub using different antenna position...some radios cannot use same antenna while in dual RX for both sub and main band my (IC-9100) that way.

Thanks for the reply. Being a mobile transceiver, it only has one antenna connection. I will check the filters also. I didn't see that they're are different settings for the main and sub bands. More experimenting!
