I sure do not want my K3 to act as a 897 or any other peanut radio, I would have bought one of those if I did. As the K3 sits now it can handle stronger signals than any other radio while hearing a weak signal with no problems, using diodes has been nothing but IMD and distortion products all over the band in the old radios I have tried in the past. No diodes please. Remember all those upgrades to radios that changed out the diodes in the front end, filter switching etc. due to IMD products etc. ? I think Elecraft makes a product for that called an antenuator, buy one and stick it on the front end if the signal is too strong. Or use the gift of manual dexterity to turn down the volume/gain. I think the thread mutated as usual into one report and many replies that are not the same problem. Sure more pressing issues to deal with on the K3. Rare is good on a steak, rare is not so good when dealing with a customer base. Gain one, loose many. nuff said.
