Igor, Antenna switching is also very easy to implement outside the K3 or any other trx. Still transceivers and also the KAT3 tuner are delivered with 2 antenna ports.
Just let me explain and share with everybody how I switch the K3 audio and why I donot want to do this 'outboard'. During the last CQ 160 CW at PI4D I had the main transmitting antenna connected to the K3 Ant1 and a receive antenna to the RX ant connector. I linked A and B VFO together with same mode, freq and fixed BW (400Hz) and listened A-B, like diversity. With the F-keys of N1MM you can send CAT commands to the K3 to change A-B to A-A or B-B or any other implemented combo and back with a single keystroke. Thank you Elecraft and N1MM programmers for making this possible. When working in split I sure would like my Ab-Ba setup, also with a single keystroke and not by a external switch. For this is has to be implemented in the Config. By the way: The Ab-Ba setup is implemented in a FT1000MP as a standard listening method when you listen to main and sub RXs. I often wonder why my repeated request for the Ab-Ba was ignored. Maybe because I am just some PA3A. Oh yes, I got one answer once about 2 years ago: It did not fit the display: the B could be read as a 8. Oh boy...... But times are new. It might happen. Coming back on the F-key trick from N1MM to switch audio, if anybody is interested, just let me know. I'll be happy to share this. 73 to all Arie PA3A Op 8-2-2012 14:43, Igor Sokolov schreef: > Arie, > What you are requesting is easier to implement externally.
