I'm part of that club. I saved considerable time by going to the
trouble shooting section of the manual. On page 65 I found this
lovely section:
"No received signal: Check (1) receiver being squelched (if
RF/SQL controls are assigned to squelch via CONFIG:SQ MAIN or SQ
SUB, rotate squelch controls fully counter-clockwise); (2) RF
GAIN too low (set RF gain controls fully clockwise); (3)
bandwidth too narrow (set WIDTH or tap XFIL, and also verify
filter configuration settings); (4) switching to an open receive
antenna on the KXV3 (RX ANT IN); (5) switching the KAT3 to an
open antenna jack; (6) CONFIG:REF CAL parameter not adjusted
properly; (7) CONFIG:KXV3 may be set to TEST, which routes all
RF through the XVTR IN/OUT jacks."

Please note that at last count 98.91% of all K3 owners have pulled that
wrong antenna per band stunt on themselves and spent at least an hour
looking elsewhere for the problem.
