[Elecraft] S2-3 on K3 With No Antenna?

[Charlie T]

Depends on the front end device.
This is typical of smoked GaAsFETS, for example, dumping a hundred watts in
the tail end of a mast mounted antenna pre-amp will cause this result.
 I had a "friend" who had this happen  (wink-wink.......).

Any thoughts on what it means to have a s2-3 noise when I switch in the
preamp on my K3 with no antenna connected?
