Literally every time.
As Fred said, it's probably a Remoterig bug.

Hi OM - you say "every time". Do you mean that literally? Does it happen
without your having transmitted before it happens? It sure is a mystery, as
is the fact that mine cleared up completely with no clear connection to
anything I did. I'm inclined to think that I may have a bad cable or
connector leaking RF into the rig

I have similar problems but I was thinking it was hamlib because of the
way it triggers for me.
It happens running wsjtx on an M2 Macbook Pro and remoterig down to the
radio in my basement. There's a K3/0 in my office -> remoterig -> K3 &
KPA1500 in the basement. Almost every time I move my transmit frequency
the RX gain goes down to almost nothing. Jiggling the AF gain brings it
back to normal. It doesn't always happen immediately when changing bands
but changing TX frequency in-band triggers it right away.

Operating in this morning's CWT, and saw a recurrence of strange RFI-like
symptoms. After transmitting, RX gain sometimes was severely reduced,
but simply moving the K-3's AF gain a little would cause recovery to
normal. Sometimes, this was accompanied by a HI CURR warning on the K3's
display, often occurring several seconds after switching back to receive.
My working theory has been RFI, but my station is pretty thoroughly
fitted with toroids. Still, there seems to be a correlation between
running my KPA-1500 at about 1100 watts and this set of symptoms, which I
have not been able to trigger running 100 watts To further confuse
things, I just had another episode of this occurring *several minutes*
after the last transmission.
One culprit I can think of is a 100-foot Ethernet cable between my
station and my FIOS router. I have bought a shielded replacement but
have not yet installed it. After reading some of the recent commentary
about so-called "shielded" cables, I'm wondering if this is worth doing.
Any suggestions, either K-3-specific or more general, would be much
appreciated.
**ADDENDUM** - I just tested into my dummy load with the amp operational
at 1100 watts, and triggered all the same symptoms.
