Don,

I screwed up (not for the first time).   To switch between ant 1 and ant 
2 is the button just under the power button.  The one to it's left, just 
under the pf a key is to  do the attenuator and rx ant.  A long press on 
this button will  put the rx antenna rca jack on the rear in or out.

So maybe rx antenna selected by mistake, wrong ant 1 or 2 selected, or 
rf gain turned down.  Or probably something else.

Sorry for the error.
