I had a k3 go deaf - and it was not any of the RX antenna switching or other issues. In my case it sounded dead but with a really strong signal I could hear something. I think it took the highest setting on the XG3 to get signal.
I think I posted an update to that in this channel. It was a pin diode on the bottom of the radio and I got some from Mouser and replaced it and it has been working fine since. If you can not find the post in the archives - let me know and I can try to dig up the info.
