[Elecraft] K3 Output Isolation

[Tom Childers, N5GE]

I just installed a new direct feedline on my 6m Yagi and hooking it up to
Antenna 2.  When I tested it I was horrified when I saw infinity SWR on my W1
power meter.  Then I realized the watt meter was not in the 6m feedline and the
rig was happily displaying a 1:1 SWR.

Hmm, that means there is output on ANT 1 when ANT 2 is selected.  I switched the
ANT 1 connection to a dummy load and the W1 was showing .1 watt output from ANT1
with a 1.2:1 SWR.

Is my Factory rig #806 the only rig with this leakage or is it a known issue? If
so is there a fix for it?
