Whoops, I did not catch that on the first reading.  I concede and have 
no easy answers.  Even so, the SSB demodulation in the K3 is not band 
dependent either, so a good look at your antenna system and 
consideration for the reception of interfering signals from consumer 
devices are prime candidates for investigation.
