Yes, this hit me between the eyes as well. The K3 has Pin One Problems at many (most?) connectors, so RF current flowing on shields of cables plugged into those connectors will couple into the K3. I've been preaching to Wayne about Pin One Problems since 2004, when we met in Dayton.

If the problem is around 90 MHz, I'd use multiple one-turn and two turn chokes with #43 material on every cable except the SO239 output, which IS actually bonded to the chassis. Also choke the power cable.

I easily could have misread the original emailed problem, but he included the note that this RFI occurred with all antennas [and I guess other cables] disconnected which is very strange indeed. If that is so, then I doubt stubs/filters on the antenna circuits would cure the problem.
