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 the setting on the AX1,
tuning should be fairly quick.

What kind of a building are you in? As an example, I live in a

went on, I live in a faraday shield and few if any signals are
received inside the house. That does include cellphone signals
as well as ham frequencies.
The AX1 does not work inside my house unless I take it near a window.
So take a look at your situation - take the KX2 outside with
the AX1 and a trailing counterpoise wire to see if you can hear
any signals.
Make sure the switch on the AX1 is set to the band you are listening to.
Do a TUNE to set the KX2 ATU to the frequency of interest.
