Tim,

Even when the KAT2 is attached, you can still hear signals through the 
base K2 antenna jack - that is NOT a problem.

If you cannot receive through the ANT1 or ANT2 jacks on the KAT2, the 
problem must be with the KAT2.  Since I presume it worked before, look 
for the easy things first, like a break in the input coax or improper 
seating of the crimp pins in the connector.

If you set the menu to ATU CALP, you should be able to make a continuity 
check from the input coax center conductor to the center conductor of 
ANT1 or ANT2.

The menu shows ATU as "auto", but neither Ant jacks 1 or 2 seem to function, The regular BNC that is not connected to the ATU works fine. I thought once the ATU was installed that jack was disabled?  Am I missing a menu change or do I have a more substantive problem?
