[Elecraft] KX3 suddenly putting out no audio on SSB......loud static on FM as usual

[Dale Boresz]

Hello Mark,

Just a guess, but could your RF Gain have been inadvertently reduced
significantly? That could render CW, SSB and AM inaudible while still
allowing FM hiss, assuming it was not being otherwise squelched.
