Hi guys, I was thinking of a possible firmware improvement related to the carrier operated relay. I use my radio on a small lot and recently I added a short beverage antenna for low-bands receiving. My main activity is single-op contesting. Because of the interaction between the tx antennas and the beverage, on some bands I have the COR (carrier operated relay) activating when I use high power. I know the good solutions, but my point is different. As I have the COR activating only when the RX Ant input is selected, why doesn't the K3 firmware disable it when pushing the ptt?
In fact, when I push the ptt I don't need the RX-ant part to be active, as I'm transmitting, and -at least in my setup- I have no other rigs/devices that need that input (I mean, no in-band receivers and so on). Instead of using external relays (ptt-activated) that cut out the rx input when I am transmitting, why the K3 firmware just doesn't disable the RX ant input on its own (and re-enables it if needed when releasing the ptt)? Maybe I'm missing something here, or that could be a nice improvement for a next firmware release.
