I use an RSP2 as a panadapter. I can feed it either from the K3's IF Out connector, in which case no protection is needed, or from the K3's RX Ant Out connector, in which case it is protected by the K3's T/R switch. In both cases there is a signal present on the SDRplay's input during transmit, but it is at a low enough level that it is not a concern.
The connection to the RX Ant Out connector is actually a jumper from RX Ant Out to a splitter plus jumpers from the splitter to the RX Ant In connector and the SDR's antenna input The splitter I use is actually just a UHF tee with UHF-to-BNC cables. The K3's RX Ant needs to be engaged to use this path. This makes using a separate RX antenna somewhat more complicated. 73, Rich VE3KI WE5P wrote: For those of you using an SDRplay as a panadapter with the K3S, what RF protection do you use for the SDRplay? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
