Walt,
I suggest that the K3 owner contact
[hidden email] for assistance.
Many on-the-air comments that I have heard pass along inaccurate
information (about many subjects, not just the K3). The only K3 mods
that I know about involving diodes are the KPA3 12V Sense Mod and theK3
VFO Noise Mod - these *add* diodes, and AFAIK, neither of these has been
known to create spurs, and definitely do not involve "clipping a diode"
- most of the K3 diodes are SMD, and I just cannot relate "clipping"
to "removal" - methinks that fellow was misinformed.
73,
