[Elecraft] K3 Receiver

[Brian Alsop]

Larry,

Is this antenna different from other bands or has it band specific 
components?

It sounds like a set of dirty relay contacts or a bad joint. I've had 
this on a few antenna switches.  The xmit voltage is enough to punch 
through but microvolts aren't.

If I'm listening to a CW signal, that signal drops too.  If I hit the keyer and send a dit, the receive comes back.  I've noticed this on a few of the other bands too.
