I recently corrected a similar problem on the K3 I put together. Same symptoms, and I found when moving the coaxial cable on the main antenna on the outside of the radio, I could duplicate the problem. I replaced my exterior rg-58 cable/connector three times without relief, then found that the SO-259 on the radio was the problem as it makes its shield connection by mechanical contact with the case. Cleaned all, tightened, all works good now. I think someone had posted that they made a redundant jumper to tie the connector to the antenna shield by way of one of the connector nuts to prevent this problem. Good luck.
