Because the COR relay only adds about 20-25 dB additional attenuation
which might not be enough. Besides this you always have the delay of the
relay switching. Even if it is quite fast (not sure about the COR in the
K3, might be 5 ms or 30 ms, haven't checked what type of relay Elecraft
used), there is a moment of no isolation so it could still destroy the
front-end.
Whenever you hear the COR activating you should take it as the last
warning and take according measures to cure the source of the problem,
not it's symptoms. ;-)
