[Elecraft] K3 strong signal handling

[Eric Scace K3NA]

Hi Wayne --

   I always get nervous when I see diodes proposed to clip strong RF.

   One of the biggest problems we have in a multi-transmitter site 
(DXpedition or multi-TX contest station) is IMD generated by diodes 
rectifying RF and re-radiating the result back into the local 
environment.  Even a nearby AM BC station can induce enough voltage on 
cause diodes to start rectifying.

    IMHO, if some guy wants to listen to a full-power signal from <100m 
away, it is his responsibility to insert an appropriate external attenuator.

   I really don't want to see the performance of the K3 (AGC on or off) 
compromised in any way whatsoever to handle such an atypical scenario.
