So I wonder if there is an assembly error that might be a contributing
factor. What I'm looking for is some internal part that should be
grounded but isn't, or vice versa. Before I dig into it I'm hoping
that those of you with more K3 experience than I have can suggest a
place to look. In the meanwhile, we are going to try for symptomatic
relief by using isolation transformers, etc.
You might also try a few diagnostic tests using a clamp-on RF current
meter. You can probably make one in a half-hour from materials on hand,
like this:

This meter will show whether or not you really do have significant
amounts of stray RF; and it will let you measure how much effect your
treatments are having.
It's so simple, and so effective.
