[Elecraft] receive problem

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

David,

You have 3 pieces of Elecraft gear connected together - check to see which 
one of them creates the problem.
First, just move the antenna to the base K2 to see if you can hear there - 
if so, next move it direct to the KPA100 antenna connector - if you can 
still hear the signals, the problem is with the KAT100.  Once you determine 
which Elecraft box contains the problem, we can help more.

OTOH, if you have the K160RX option installed, be certain Rant is set off on 
80 meters.  The receive antenna setting is remembered on a per band basis. 
As a quick check, just connect an antenna to the receiveng antenna jack.
