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
