The question, particularly on the lower bands is signal to noise
ratio and not absolute receive strength. While connecting a
receive antennas to two radios will involve a 3db loss, that
loss will be to both the signal and the noise. The signal to
noise ratio will be unchanged.

My concern with the dB loss is only when it comes to the
faintest of stations which is what I like to work, I like the
most difficult ones to pull out because they are the most
interesting ones to me; DX, QRP or someone with a really
compromised location, that gives me the greatest pleasure and
when such signals are in the mud, 3 dB is a lot of loss. When
copying a signal that moves the meter the loss is no problem.
All these options to select what antenna configuration to use
with the K3 & its sub receiver are tools each has unique
benefits & liabilities, sometimes a different choice lets me
make the Q.
