Re: [Elecraft] broken receiver, I suspect

Jeff,

Do you have the KXV3 (transverter interface) installed? If so, remove
it, and put back the jumper that would have been removed when it was
installed (I think there's just one jumper, but check the installation
manual). There's a PIN diode on there that will blow if it sees more
than about 2W. If you don't have the KXV3, there's another PIN diode
on the main RF board that can be vulnerable. I'll forward you an email
from support when this happened to me a while ago 

73,

~iain / N6ML

No, it appears to be on all bands, though I have not checked all bands. I
later experienced the same thing on 17m, and in the lab I tried it on all 3
bands available on the XG2.

As far as I know TX is normal. I didn't get any reports of bad TX signal,
just that many stations were calling and I wasn't hearing them.

Is the sensitivity problem only on 12 m?

Is Tx normal on 12 m or did it degrade as well?

Lyle KK7P



On the last day of the operation I was calling CQ on 12m and getting no
response. Turns out everyone was calling me but I was hearing almost
nothing.
