I suspect it was intentional. From having met him and read a lot about the approach he takes to designing things, he tends to insure that everything Elecraft designs and builds is as "bulletproof" as possible.
Sounds like it was a "failure mode" test of the COR in case the T/R switch failed and the KX3's TX pumped all it's RF back into the RX. Working right, it probably would save a lot of more expensive repairs if the T/R switch failed in the wrong mode. Of course, it IS remotely possible that it was an OOPS during a late night operating session ;-) W0EB > Wayne said > - a built-in carrier-operated relay (I've transmitted at 10 watts > into the KX3 without damaging it) > Which begs the question (at least for me).
