[Elecraft] K3, I broke it. Headed for the schematics

A common mistake when installing filters is to count left to right, looking
at the filter locations on the pc board, instead of right to left. With the
front edge of either the K3 RF board or the KRX3 board toward you, Filter #1
goes on the right end. Filter #5 is on the left.

Jim,

Technically, if you hear "white noise", you have audio.  Sorry to be so 
"picky", but it is quite important in troubleshooting to use exact 
language so we all understand each other.  From your statements I would 
rather have seen you say that you have audio, but do not hear any 
signals AND that you see signals on the P3.
That places the problem between the IF output and the input to the DSP - 
in other words the filter section of the receiver.
Check your filter configuration again, and check the physical 
installation of the filters - backwards filters do not work right.
