I found it! I went back and saw a bent pin on the KXV3 and took those boards
including IO out and reseated and all is well!
Thanks!

Check all the coaxial cables that plug into the boards and front panel.
Make sure they go the right places. I would also check the way you have
decided to handle the coax going to the coax chassis connector SO239.
There are a couple of ways to do this depending on your options.

Ok, checked the RX ANT switch. It was not on. I did connect an antenna to the
RX ANT jack and switched to it, but no difference.
Not sure what is wrong where. In any case, there is very little sensitivity in
the K3 at this point.
Don't know what to check. I have gone back through the best I can... seems
everything was done correctly.
Very careful about ESD.

Joe,
Do you have a KXV3 module installed? You may be switched to the RX antenna.

Everything in the manual checked out ok. I am at the stage before putting in
the 100 watt PA. Just checking things out. I have the IF Out board, but
that's about it. No ATU. Setup filters, etc. But, I have only about S1
on the S Meter, and can only weakly hear the strongest of signals. Even WWV
is poor. This is on a known good antenna/coax.
Anyhow, just wondering what to check. I haven't set the REF OSC yet because
I can't get a strong enough signal to do it.
Ideas? I thought I was sailing along smoothly.
Thanks,
joe
