[Elecraft] KX1 RX deaf after KB3080 installation

I thought I found _all_ the problems with my KX3080, but I guess not. THe 
receiver is now very insensitive on all bands. It works, but I don't hear an 
increase in noise on any band when I connect an antenna. Tracing from the 
antenna jack toward the mixer, I get a good increase in noise when I touch 
the antenna to the junction of L6 and the RF gain pot. On the antenna side of 
L6, there's no increase in noise.

Rereading the assembly instructions, the manual says to connect A on the 
KXB3080 to B on the KX1, and B on the KXB3080 to A on the KX1, because the 
markings for A and B on the KX1 are incorrect. But if this is the case, why 
was the KXB30 connected A to A and B to B?

I'm wondering if this is my problem...
