Don,
Were you really tuned to 12 meters? or somewhere else? There is the
possibility that you have a problem with your K2.
I have not listened to 12 meters, but if I understand you correctly, you
listened to 12 meters with the K2, the K3 and some other radio - and 2
out of 3 did not hear the signals.
That causes me to wonder if you were really listening to 12 meters on
the K2. One check you can make is to use the internal frequency counter
probe and see what the frequency at TP1 (the VFO output) is when tuned
to 12 meters - then add 4913 kHz and you should have to actual operating
frequency.
There is one more check to make to see if you are really hearing 12
meters - run the K3 (tuned to 12 meters) into a dummy load, then connect
a short antenna to the K2, placing that antenna near the dummy load.
You should be able to hear the K3 signal on the K2.
73,
Don W3FPR

This morning I was listening to different bands on my K2. Got to the 12
meters band and lots of cw activity.( K2 is in the building stage.) So
switched to my K3 to work some stations. No 12 meter activity heard. Only
couple of birdies. Switched to another rig and and another antenna, Nothing
heard the 12 meter band.
Does something need tweaking on the K3?
