[Elecraft] reciever does quiet after tune

[Dick Dievendorff]

I had a problem like this with another manufacturer's radio.  After
transmitting I would hear full volume, then it would quiet down and it took
a blast of RF to restore sensitivity.  

It turned out to be a corroded connector on the linear loading wires of my
40 meter antenna. 

I would also look for a relay somewhere along the path (in a linear, or an
antenna switch) that might need a piece of paper slid between the contacts.

I am experiencing this intermittently as well.  Have not yet found what is 
necessary to reproduce it.
