[Elecraft] KX1 RF Gain

[Jeremiah Blasi]

My recently completed KX1 seems to perhaps have an issue with the RF gain.  That is, it seems to have virtually no effect.  If I did not know that the FR gain pot was being adjusted, I would not detect the change.  As it is, I can barely detect the difference when I twist it to opposite extremes.  What could be the cause of this?  Also, when I turn the tuning dial, I can *hear* each *click* through the headphones, almost as if there's a short somewhere.  I do not remember any of this during earlier testing stages, but I'm noticing it now.  And I do hear signals, so the receiver seems to be operating fine.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
