Why not reduced the RF to a safe level on the RX line? I would try
something like this https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-rg5000hd
and move the wire further away if possible to ensure that you do not
damage the receiver.

….thanks to comments and suggestions from K9ZTV and W2CS.
My K3 has the Sub Receiver installed, and I have been playing around with
diversity reception, using a random wire connected to the sub-receiver
antenna input BNC connector. Apparently the carrier operated relay that
protects the receiver from overload is being triggered by lots of RF coming
into that random wire. When I disconnect the receive antenna, no more
clicking. Now that I know what it is, I'll just ignore it. Or maybe someday
I'll rig a manual T-R switch arrangement to disconnect the sub receiver
antenna except when actually using it.
Thanks, gents!
