[Elecraft] K3 RX Ant - first try - nothing

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

If you connect an antenna to either ANT1 or ANT2 (select the right one), 
then tap RX ANT the signal should drop drastically.  Do that test first.
You should see the RX ANT icon in the display.

Then with the RX ANT still selected, move the antenna to the jack 
labeled RX ANT IN (not RX ANT OUT) and you should once again hear the 
signal at full strength.

If not you have a problem with the KXV3 and should contact support.

If you have the SUB RX, the situation becomes more complex, so do not 
select SUB when trying this testing.  We can deal with that later if 
necessary.
