[Elecraft] K3 RX Issue?

[Lee Hiers]

I thought about quoting Jack Nicholson from A Few Good Men when he said
"well don't I feel like a...." but thought better of it.

100% operator error.  As diagnosed by N7GP and W0GHZ, I had my RX antenna
button pushed.  I don't have an RX antenna, so I never push it...on
purpose.

I'm glad it wasn't a problem like K9GS had...although I had suspected
something like that.

All looks well now - thanks everyone for the help.
