Good topic and timely for me. I have the K3/10 with dual-Rx and no KAT-3. I use an inverted-L for 600m (495.6 KHz) and plan to make a rotatable shielded loop antenna for alternate Rx. Best location is a corner of our back deck but this is nearly underneath the horizontal wires of the inverted-L (43x130 foot). There may be some interaction between the two antenna (1/4 WL at 500-KHz is 930-foot). I may configure the invert-L for 160m later this fall when I have the 300w PA QRV.
I could configure for diversity Rx, I think. The inverted-L is connected to the XVT Rx&Tx connectors since the K3 is run in TEST-mode on this frequency (actually, two coax lines connect to the 600m xmtr where there is a T/R relay that connects to the inverted-L). But normally the aux-Rx would be connected to the aux antenna jack. Since this is outside normal ham freq., the KBPF-3 is used. Anyone see any problems with what I propose? If diversity cannot be done then switching between Rx is adequate for selecting antennas. I haven't played with diversity reception, so far. 73, Ed - KL7UW, WD2XSH/45 ====================================== BP40IQ 500 KHz - 10-GHz www.kl7uw.com EME: 144-QRT*, 432-100w, 1296-QRT*, 3400-winter?
