[Elecraft] K3 RX broken :-( ... where to look at first?

[Oliver Dröse]

Thanks to Dave's, K6LL, tip on the 3C0L thread, I could identify D25 on 
the RF board to have gone south. Ordered spares already and thanks to 
Heiko, DG1BHA who is lending his K3 so I can do the contest at least ... 
73, Olli
