KX3 protects itself from overloading signals by automatically switching 
preamp out and switching ATT on. If it happens  to you radio then you 
probably have overloaded RX issue. I am in the same situation here with 
KX3 and a neighbor only 1000 meters away. KX3 is pretty weak as far as 
BDR is concerned. K3 feels much better in the same environment.
