I suspect this is more about instilling proper military security 
procedure, rather than about really keeping them secret.

Incidentally, unless you know the frequencies, you will not know what 
additional filtering you need.  Even though you can open up the K3 for 
all but CB frequencies, I doubt that the K3 meets its spectral purity 
specifications much outside the ham bands, so one would need to measure 
the purity on the actual operating frequencies and, possibly, add extra 
filtering.
