K3 80 Meter Receive Problem

I have discovered that my K3 is almost completely Deaf on 80 Meters.

I just did a test with my old Icom 735 and the K3 side by side.

Switching the same antenna back and forth on the 735 the band was full of activity.

But my K3 could only find a few weak signals.

All other bands seem fine on the K3.

Does anyone know if I could have done something silly in the configuration menus that could affect 80M only??

Any help much appreciated I am confused.

Thanks

Did you have the RX ANT on? Would show an RX just to the right of ANT1/2 on the display. That setting is saved by band.

73, Guy.
