Joe, Bill, and Buzz:
Check RX ANT selection on 80 Meters? Of course I che Never
mind. Thank the three of you for fixing the problem that has plagued me
for two months.

Jan,
Check your antenna selections - ANT1 vs. ANT2 or RX ANT on vs. off.
The amount of attenuation you hear is about the same as the isolation
between the antenna selection in the K3 (40 to 50 dB).
The antenna selection is on a per band basis.

I have a K3 that works fine on all bands except 75/80 and 160. I have
a backup rig, an IC-730 from the 1980's, that has 75/80 but not 160. I
did an A/B with the two rigs on 80 meters, and both the S-meter and my
ears tell me that signals are 5-7 S-units weaker on the the K3. S/N is
clearly
Can someone clue me as to how to chase this down?
The easiest, most accurate way is to actually measure sensitivity using
an XG-2 or XG-3 signal generator. You can check the S-meter on 80 and
160 compared to 20 meters and calculate the MDS on each band following
the method in the signal
