[Elecraft] KX3: No RX - SWR 25 to 1

[Matt Zilmer]

If the NR4C suggestion doesn't solve your problem, physically remove
the ATU and recheck if you have this problem.  If the problem is with
the ATU, this will clear it up.  Of course, you should get the ATU
replaced on warranty....

Don't forget to reconnect the BNC internal conductor to the RF board's
antenna connector.
