Ken, Yes, that is exactly the way to do it, and that still allows you to transmit through the main antenna. So in other words, you would select "RX ANT" for the main receiver, and be sure to select the AUX input for the sub-receiver (while "b SET" is engaged, tap the "ANT" button on the K3 to alternate between "MAIN" and "AUX" and be sure you leave it on "AUX".) I operate this way on both 40m and 30m with a Pixel Technologies loop connected to the AUX input, and a small voltage probe RX antenna connected to the RX ANT input of the K3, while using a ground plane vertical as the main transmit antenna.
Depending upon the amount of power you're using, and the proximity of the rx antennas to the tx antenna, you may want to consider adding some outboard rx protection. I use the Array Solutions Model AS-RXFEP, and it works very well. 73, Dale WA8SRA > How would I set up the K3 in diversity mode with two different RX only > antennas?
