[Elecraft] KSB2 INSTALL - RX LOST

[Joe Planisky]

Oh, forgot about rAnt.  Make sure you didn't accidentally turn on rAnt  
(the receive-only antenna you get with the K160RX option) in the  
menu.  It's right next to the CAL menu item and I've accidentally  
turned it on while calibrating the filters.
