Jim and Steve,
While the COR will do its job, I recommend that you not abuse it. If you
hear the COR operating during transmit, it would be wise to provide some
external switching (relay) to remove the RX antenna while transmitting
or insert an attenuator.
Of course, the best solution is to locate the RX antenna away from the
TX antenna, but that is not always a practical solution.

Steve -
I have a similar setup as Arie - an 80 meter Inverted L at 40 feet for my
transmitting antenna and a Hustler 5BTV vertical ground mounted about 10 feet
from being directly under the vertical. Works fine. If I crank up my KPA500,
the relays in the K3 quickly isolate the subrx from too much RF.

Steve,
the subRX of the K3 has its protection (an rf triggered relay if the power
coming into the rx is too high).
I've used the K3-KPA500 on a beam and I had a diversity vertical connected to
the subrx quite next to it. No problem at all.
It all depends on the coupling of the antennas. Try and see how you go at your
QTH; the subRX is protected.
