[Elecraft] 6 meters

[K8TB]

    Something is not right, and a tip off is that two rigs have 
problems. Are you using the EXACT same cable to connect your 6 meter 
antenna to the 3 rigs? Are you using any relays or coax switches? I've 
been to a few shacks where the ham claims a brand new rig is junk. 
Twice, the jumper from their A/B was junk. There is no way the K3 would 
only hear the friend with an amp real weak.  One guys shack had a bad 
jumper, that worked when you had it going to right, but not stretched to 
the left!
    The Elecraft Noise Generator is worth its weight in gold and 
platinum. Gives you a real quick check on reality.

    Please double check your setup, very carefully.
