[Elecraft] K3 transmitting in diversity overloads the sub-receiver

[Stan AE7UT]

I'm using a K3 with a sub-receiver, a KPA500, KAT500, dipole and vertical
antenna.
I was noticing a clicking noise while transmitting in dual receive and
"thought" it was
an antenna switch protecting the sub-receiver.  As most of you know (I
didn't) this is
just the sub-receiver overload protection getting too much RF from my
transmission.
It took a call to Elecraft's fantastic customer service for me to figure
this out.
This only occurs if I use the amp at 500 watts.  Not with barefoot
transmitting.

I really like the diversity receive and would like to use it while using the
amp.
I know I could probably move the antennas further apart but that's not
possible.
Is there another way to fix this?

Thanks for any help you can be.
