[Elecraft] K3 - Dead RX after TX

[Stewart Baker]

Many thanks to all who responded either on or off the reflector.

It would seem that no one else can replicate the problem of RX 
loss after TX.

Not sure where to take this now, as although there have been 
whispers within the Elecraft inner circle that others have 
reported unexplained loss of receive, I can't get a straight 
answer.
