 Anyone have this problem with an open mic inside the radio? When I am on
 52.795 mhz, I get a signal of s-3 and when I turn up the volume, it
 squeals. I can actually speak through the bigger grille opening on top of
 the radio and hear myself. I can't hear any weak signals on that frequency
 because it is getting covered up. Any way to resolve this issue? -- View

it is not an open microphone but a birdie that is microphonic.
all K3's I have seen have some birdies, some are very loud like yours and
some are so low that they disappear in the noise when an antenna is
connected.
Open the top cover and touch or come close to the  board with oscillator and
you will know where the microphone is seated ;-)

I forgot to mention that I can receive stations and have the mic on the front
of the radio working fine. It stays hot all the time inside the radio.

Do you see the red TX light on?  If so, you are in transmit and the 
monitor volume is too high.  Perhaps something has closed your PTT circuit.


I could also suspect an RF Feedback problem.  Give us more details about 
the state and conditions under which you observe this.  Is it really 
frequency dependent?
