That did it! Thanks much.

I was definitely confused about being able to use both TX/RX and RX2 on subdev B to receive two signals. When I was doing that, I was thinking 'B:0' was sufficient--same device. But switching the antenna back to A, RX2 (as in the original two-block configuration) and using 'A:0 B:0' worked, so then I switched back and tried 'B:0 B:0' but that doesn't work.

Now I also understand (a little bit better anyway) the documentation

I appreciate your patience and skill Marcus,

    A side note.  NEVER wire a transmitter directly to a receiver.  Use
    a 30-40dB attenuator in-line.   Because receivers that are intended
    for off-air (antenna-connected) signals are
      too delicate to tolerate the kind of power levels you'll see
    directly from a transmitter, even a very very modest transmitter. 
    You risk damaging the receiver.
