KX3 BC? Feedthru

[N4CW]

While operating CW during the CQP at my Maine QTH, on different bands and  
at different times, I heard
"voices" coming through the KX3 where there shouldn't be any "voices"!  
Unlike images, they didn't change
as I tuned around. It was like i.f. signal "leakage", and I mitigated the  
effect by turning off the preamp.
 
If this topic's been covered before, I don't recall reading about it and  
would appreciate suggestions for the
future.

I've had this same issue with my K3. Would love to hear any suggestions.

Try enabling RX SHFT. It moves the IF from 0.0 to 8.0 kHz and usually solves the problem. More detail in the manual on page 38.
