[600MRG] K3/K3s on 630 Meters

[Larry]

What it doesn't tell you is that after you connect the receive antenna 
to the Xvtr in connector, you have to tap the "RX ANT" button.  Then you 
should see the "RX" next to the ANT1 indicator show up and hopefully 
hear much more noise. Worked for me apparently as i heard John NJD 
tonight at 0143Z in a CW QSO with KF5RYD although i couldn't hr the KF5 stn.
