[Elecraft] Rx antenna on K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Dick,

Have you tried the regular antenna on the RX antenna jack?  I am trying 
to eliminate the possibility that your beverage antenna has 
significantly lower gain than your transmit antenna (beverages do have 
lower gain).

We need to know whether it is a K3 problem or an antenna problem.

The possible paths for the various antenna ports are shown in the 
diagrams in the K3 manual.  The configuration applicable to your 
situation depends on your installed options and the configuration menu 
settings.  We cannot give a good answer unless we know your K3 
configuration.

73,
Don W3FPR

I've tried several antennas in the RX-in port, but no signal.  I've reviewed the manual and CONFIG parameters, but no cigar.  I initially hooked it onto the 6m preamp, but I removed the pre-amp to eliminate if from the equation.  Any recommendations?  I feel I'm missing something.
