Gary,
If you want to hear the same antenna in both ears, connect it
to the RX IN jack and press RX ANT on the Main RX. Yes, you
will see a 3 dB "loss" due to the splitting on both receivers
but that's unavoidable *anytime* you feed a single antenna to
both receivers.

Hi Mike,
What you're suggesting sounds like a good idea. I don't often use
diversity because of the dB loss and the stations I am usually trying
to work are the faintest ones out there. instead, I use the two
receivers linked on the same frequency, that gives me the best
sensitivity and I just listen in stereo.
My goal is to be able to select the option of hearing from only the
Rx antenna and nothing from the transmit antenna. I use my Rx as a
beam in that I can null out undesirable signals &/or peak the station
I am listening to. The transmit antenna hears 360 degrees and I want
to at times eliminate that. I figured with all the options on the K3
that there would be an easily selectable way to hear the Rx antenna
on both receivers just like you can hear only the Tx antenna on both
receivers. And maybe you can? I haven't figured out how to do that if
it is built in.

Hi Gary,
You didn't indicate if you are running split or diversity. Here's a solution
if you are in diversity.
There are times that you would like the RX ANT to be steered to both your
MAIN RX and SUB RX. I do that with a splitter on my RX antenna cable. One
leg goes to the AUX RF BNC socket for the SUB RX and the other leg goes to
the RX ANT IN BNC socket on the KXV3A board. When I want to use my RX
antenna for both receivers I press the RX ANT button. I'm still in diversity
but I'm using the same antenna for both ears.

I connect my Rx antenna via the BNC below the SO239 outputs. I have a
sub Receiver and have the Rx on the sub and listen to the vertical
transmitting antenna on the main with my stereo headset.
There are times when I'd like to only hear the Rx antenna and not the
vertical and to this point to do that, I turn off the audio from the
main receiver & listen with the one ear to the sub Rx.
Listening to the transmit antenna with both ears I just don't use the
sub rx. The question I'd like to know is: How can I listen to the sub
Rx only with both ears? I could do it by inserting a stereo to mono
adapter in line but that's going to be bothersome quickly. Any easy &
quick way to do this?
