Luc,
The K3 some coupling between the ANTENNA 1 and the RX ANT
ports. The attenuation is around 50 dB. Normally this is
not a problem, as the band noise on RX ANT is higher than
the signals leaking through from the TX antenna. Try
disconnecting the TX antenna cable to see if the signals
go away.

Hi all,
I think I may have a problem with my K3 . I was checking
my beverage antennas last week and I decided to see
if I could hear signals on my coaxes going to the
beverages .
At night I can hear signals up to S5 on 80 m with 50
feet of coax connected to the receive input jack , coax
end is open and is going underground except for the last
8 feet .
I have band reject filters inline on my TX antennas and
when I manually switch the filter and TX antenna to a
different band
I can barely detect the stations that were S5 before . I
tried the same with my other radio and the stations I
hear are not moving
the S meter .
Did I do something wrong in assembling the radio ?
Thanks for helping out
