No problem, partly my reading problem too.
It does sound like Rx isn't doing all it should. I would suggest reflowing the solder joints on L12, a full 10 seconds on each connection. I recently had another issue with another kit that turned out was just that. Joints looked good, but reflowed them and things began working. That enamel coating can be tough to get off.

The dummy load is connected only while running the self-tests. Sorry to be unclear. It's connected to a 20m dipole when trying to actually receive signals - but I was noting that the noise level doesn't appear to change when I connect the dipole when compared to a dummy load (or even nothing) attached.
