KX3 Questions on tuning with T-1,etc.

Michael E. Califf,Sr.
I have new KX3, applied power, no apparent readings on S Meter. hissing noise heard but no signals.
ATU is on Auto
can’t figure out how to get T-1 to tune the radio.
can’t seem to get any readings on s-meter as to input. antenna works with other radios
I have MIC plugged in if that makes any difference.
Really confused and need help!!

Mike,

Does your KX3 have the ATU option installed inside the case?  Kit or  
factory?  If you're using an external tuner (T-1) then I think you  
need the KX3 tuner set to Bypass Tuner.
