Again thanks to all who actually read my post and offered helpful
suggestions.

I have finally discovered the infamous operator error that caused my K3 to
lose rcvr audio when I would change modes from CW to SSB.

As mentioned in my original post, for the past 61 years I have been
primarily a CW operator, therefore seldom paid close (enough) attention to
the settings for the voice modes. Therefore when setting up the Rx
Equalization, I set it up for CW with the below setting:

50      100     200     400     800     1600    2400    3200

-16     -6     +15      +16     0  [CTA]   -15     -16     -16

AND I did not set up Rx Equalization for USB/LSB. I did save the
configuration for CW. Obviously when I switched to USB or LSB, I could hear
no voice audio. It was only after discovering my 'operator error' I changed
USB/LSB to:

-16     -16     -16     +8      +12     +12    [CTA] +12     -16

And now I have normal audio (to my ears) in all three modes.

Thanks again for your helpful suggestions and let's close this thread.
