Yesterday afternoon, I thought the bottom had dropped out of the bands,
because everything was puny weak, yet I was still working people with
about the usual success rate. After I finished the contest, I dug out
my XG3, and checked the sensitivity on each band - in all cases, 160-10,
the K3 S-meter was reading about S6, on the -73 dBm output setting.
Previously it has read S-9 as intended. Transmit is completely normal.
Subjectively, my long-present line noise to the west is no longer audible
I've checked for inadvertent mis-setting of various controls, thinking
that it might be operator error, but haven't found anything. Is it
likely that something has died in the receive path? Should I get on the
phone to Elecraft Support? Of course, I'll box it up and send it to
them if that is indicated, but would hope to avoid a month or more off
the air.
TIA
