Something is not right, and a tip off is that two rigs have
problems. Are you using the EXACT same cable to connect your 6 meter
antenna to the 3 rigs? Are you using any relays or coax switches? I've
been to a few shacks where the ham claims a brand new rig is junk.
Twice, the jumper from their A/B was junk. There is no way the K3 would
only hear the friend with an amp real weak. One guys shack had a bad
jumper, that worked when you had it going to right, but not stretched to
the left!
The Elecraft Noise Generator is worth its weight in gold and
platinum. Gives you a real quick check on reality.
Please double check your setup, very carefully.

One of the reasons I purchased a K3 was to have a superior 6 meter
rig. I have 5 elements at 85 ft. A friend about 12 miles away was
working all kinds of stations and I can't hear a single one and his KW
was very faint with an antenna at 85 ft. My Flex 5000A didn't work on
6 meters as well and the Pro III heard everything.
