Hi Graham,
I had a problem early on with my K3 S/N 307.
The Sub RX mixer was intermittently noisy. I verified this by swapping the mixer
with the one in the Main RX.
Elecraft replaced it FOC.
Hope this helps.

P.S. Lot's of bad signals in SSB CQWW. Obviously they are not using K3's !

present even when the aerial is disconnected). The main receiver operates
without any such issues.
