K3/P3 issue--no signals

[Gary, W7TEA]

Left my rig for a couple of hours this morning and when I returned, my P3 was no longer reading band signals.  It is as if it is only hearing internal rx noise with the "grass" well below S0 and RefCal cranked up to 145 and beyond.  The K3 seems to hearing just fine.  Have restarted both units, wiggled IF cable, verified that nothing else has changed, checked P3 Menu items etc.  Searched archives. There has to be something simple here going on.  Any help very much appreciated!

I have similar issue. Just built the P3 and it worked immediately. I shut down and returned a few hours later and no signals. It's like the IF is no longer getting to the P3. Weird.

Hope someone has the fix soon.

Pete,  I have experienced the same thing.  It seems the  IF BNC connector on back of the rig is a bit touchy and I  have difficulty getting a really solid connection.  

If I move the rig around any at all the BNC disconnects.  Playing with the connector seems to get me up and running again.

I'm sorry I didn't post the "fix."  As it turned out, the RF board holding the BNC jacks was bad.  Elecraft sent a replacement and I was up and running again.
