Hi Guys,

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the K-3 Receive Antenna is 
unswitched during tranmit... which allows high RF to get back into the 
receiver.  That's sure the case when using my beverage for receive and 
transmitting 
on 160-meters.  (sounds like my K-3 is going to blow up)  I'm wondering why 
this is the case.  Couldn't an inexpensive relay be added to the KXV3 to 
prevent his problem?

I'd appreciate knowing what others are doing to prevent your K-3's from 
blowing up while using  beverages on 160-meters!  Is everyone building an 
external relay box just to switch the beverage off during transmit?  

Thanks & 73,

Dick- K9OM
