Sounds like an application for a high pass filter. That strong a signal, 
and that it is not being detected by other receivers, certainly sounds 
as if it is being generated in the K3 due to overload.

There are 100 watt transmit power level AM broadcast band high pass 
filters available that can easily be installed.
