"Maybe it was something with the setup."
That's an understatement.
Running kilowatt-level power on the same band to two antennas only 20
feet apart is simply crazy. I don't know what input protection the
KX3's have, but they almost certainly kicked in and being inherently
non-linear they would have generated all sorts of high level trash on
the front end. It would be interesting to see the math, but I think
you're lucky you didn't blow the heck out of both front ends in spite of
the protection.

KL7AA had two elecrafts at FD, a KX3 for SSB and a K3 for CW, and interference
was a definitely noticed. Each rig was wired to separate 3 element stepIRs,
about 20 feet apart. One rig used the elecraft 500w amp and one used a 1.5kw
amp. The two elecrafts could not operate on the same band at all. Maybe it
was something with the setup.
