K3-10 Rx sensitivity update

[Elecraft mailing list]

Update on K3-10 Rx sensitivity problem ..... found the culprit.  The single standoff for the corner of the KANT3 board was loose between the standoff and the T connector by about a turn.  Wiggling the board around caused the noise to come and go.  Tightening the standoff cured the problem....Allen, W0OUU

It's been my experience that this issue also affects TX output power.  My fix
was to add a solder lug to the board side standoff screw and one to the SO239
flange and solder a short buss wire between them.
