Hi Phil, You should have some idea of when you might want to use diversity reception. If you do then the filters that would be in use on your main RX should be duplicated (and matched) in the sub RX. Likewise, you should really give some thought to when you might use your sub RX. I have five filters in my main RX and four in my sub RX. I now believe I only really needed 3 in my sub RX and one day if I have reason to remove my sub RX I'll take out the filter I don't use and sell it.
If you never plan on having multiple antennas you might never operate diversity. In that case you won't need matched filters in your sub RX. But that move could lower the resale value of your K3. More food for thought. 73, Mike K2MK Phillip Shepard wrote > > My understanding is that diversity receive works best with matched > receiver > topologies.
