[Elecraft] [K3] Low Receiver Sensitivity - Fixed

I noticed my receiver sensitivity was low but didn't know what to do about it until I plugged in my P3.  I had already made the IF output buffer gain mod.  I couldn't get much of a signal even with the REF LVL turned all the way in.  I removed the bottom front cover to check the 13K resistor at R8 and noticed that P86 was not plugged in.  There was just enough capacitance at this connection to provide a signal.  After plugging it in all the way, the sensitivity of both the K3 and P3 returned to normal.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
