For the AM broadcast band, this is normal. Here is a 2016 post from Wayne, N6KR about using the KX2 for SWL. The reduced sensitivity is to reduce intermod in the PIN diodes used for T/R switching, if I remember correctly. Also, the KX3 and KX2 are designed to be used with the preamp for normal

Re: [Elecraft] New KX2 - what am I doing wrong?

I will add, the Elecraft tuners can tune almost anything. When you do a tune (Don's last step below), if the relays click for a long time before settling into a not-super-good solution, that is a symptom of no antenna, or a short circuit in place of an antenna. If you are on the same band as
