The answer indicated connecting the SDR antenna to some connector in
the rear of the radio, and pressing some number of front panel keys
to route the signals from the antenna to the SDR...
Connect a splitter, input to the RX Ant Out jack, one output to the
RX ANT IN jack and the other output to the Antenna input of your SDR.
Press the RX ANT button to activate the RX ANTENNA Out/RX ANT IN path.

Yes, the RX ANT Out/IN path is on the receive side of the T/R switch.
There is no RF (or only leakage) present in transmit.

on the main antenna connector of a K3 to an external SDR via some
connector in the rear of the K3.

Can someone point me at that post, or tell me how this is accomplished?
The RF Signal flow on the K3 has always eluded me.
Also, is the output from the K3 at zero or close to zero when
transmitting? i.e. is it safe for the SDR?
