Re: [Elecraft] 12 meter K3 RFI from nearby FM station

I have a similar problem. I have a 1KW AM station about 1/2 mile away (1100W by day, 110W by night). With nothing connected to the radio, and even with a 50-ohm terminator on RX Ant in, I can clearly hear the signal at several places, most prominently at 14.220 MHz. Nothing I've tried, including
