Does he blot out your K3S on all bands, or just if you if both are on
the same band?
I have some avid DX'ers within 20 miles or less of my QTH, one runs a 4
ele Steppr and legal limit. He and I can be on the same band, both
working FT-8 and neither knows the other is on the band. Oh, I see his
signal but certainly there is no receiver overload on my part. As to
him likely having a non-Elecraft radio.......can't say.
But perhaps the other fellow is causing some serious splatter. If so,
that may be justification to contact one of the ARRL Volunteer
Monitors. If the issue is verified, that report goes to HQ, and they
review the case. And it may get turned over to the FCC. At which point
I am sure he would become very interested in what his equipment is
doing. No one likes to justify their operation to the FCC.
If you are having overload issues, perhaps you need to review your
receiver configuration, set-up, and operating practice. Or just go to
another band.

How much, power, exactly, is this fellow running?

There's a major jerk who lives within about 20 miles of me who runs BIG power
with FT8. When he's on the air, he blots out my K3S so his is the only signal
on the waterfall, the only signal the decoder sees. When his BIG POWER is on
the air, I can't be. And he's made it clear that he doesn't care what he does
to anyone else's enjoyment. Power for power's sake is contagious.
