[Elecraft] [K3] K3 on 10

[-.-. --.-N3TU -.-. --.-]

I didn't notice a drop on 10/11 meters on the RX. I pulled out two 11 meter
radios out of the attic and did a comparison. The RX was the same. I've even
tried to get the weakest signal I could find on 11 meters and compare it to
the RX and all three heard them. I also compared the RX to close stations on
10 meters and their HF rigs are pulling in the same signals with the same
signal strength. What I am having problem is when you tune each band from
bottom to top, there are quite a few birdies or very narrow weak
transmissions. I tested this with no antennas hooked up to the K3.
