Thanks for the suggestions to help with my ailing KX3.
I have tried them, and also a factory reset.  No joy.
Looks like the rig is not going into the receive mode.  The fact that injecting an S9 signal at 7040 KHz does not indicate on the S Meter makes me think the KX3  is staying in the transmit mode.
Looks like a trip to the Mothership is in the rigs future.

73,

I don’t get any S meter reading when I inject the 50 microvolt 7040 KHz signal from my XG1.  Not sure if it is staying in the transmit mode with a transceiver switching problem, or just a problem with the receiver circuitry.
