Hello,
  Last night I was transmitting on 160m and using stereo headphones listening 
with diversity RX and heard some unusual clicking coming from the K3 when 
transmitting.  I pulled the diversity RX antenna that was plugged into the 2nd 
RX antenna port with no change.  I pulled the RX antenna that was plugged into 
the main RX ANT IN port on the KXV3 and the clicking stopped.  This told me I 
had too much RF coming in on my beverage antenna when transmitting.  So I put 
the 2nd RX antenna back on but now there was no audio output from the KRX3 sub 
receiver.  I'm using the sub audio knob as the balance control between the main 
and sub receivers.  When the sub receiver is on and the pot is counterclockwise 
I get audio from the main RX in the left ear.  But when clockwise there is no 
output from either side.  I did have stereo speakers plugged into the external 
speaker port in the rear of the K3 and the spkrs were set to 2 when the problem 
started.  Also I haven't done the AF mod yet.  W
 hen I turn off the sub receiver, I get audio out of both sides.  Does anyone 
have an idea of what might have happened?  I did fix the high RF level coming 
from the beverage antenna by putting back to back diodes from the center pin of 
the coax to ground.  Now I can transmit with no clicking coming from the K3.  
However, it would be nice to get the diversity reception back. Al CE1/K7CA
