Walt, I suggest that the K3 owner contact [email protected] for assistance. Many on-the-air comments that I have heard pass along inaccurate information (about many subjects, not just the K3). The only K3 mods that I know about involving diodes are the KPA3 12V Sense Mod and theK3 VFO Noise Mod - these *add* diodes, and AFAIK, neither of these has been known to create spurs, and definitely do not involve "clipping a diode" - most of the K3 diodes are SMD, and I just cannot relate "clipping" to "removal" - methinks that fellow was misinformed.
