[Elecraft] P3, no IF display

[Don Wilhelm]

  Roger,

The level from the K3 IF out jack is quite low - about what you would 
expect from an antenna.
So you will need something more sensitive that a 'scope of frequency 
meter to find anything.
Connect to a separate receiver that can tune to the K3 IF near 8.8 MHz 
to see if you can hear any signals.
As Jim Brown pointed out, a common problem is a bad BNC cable - try a 
known good one.
