My understanding is that IF you have the sub-RX installed and have the
KAT3 installed, you can connect one antenna to ANT1, another antenna to
ANT2, and select which antenna serves the main RX and which one serves
the sub-RX. Since there are no sub-RXs in the field, no one has been
able to do this and any comment about how effective (or ineffective) it
would be seems premature.
Pages 38, 39 and 40 of the Rev C Owners Manual makes it pretty clear...
to me, anyway.

Maybe I'm missing something here. What about the following
from the K3 FAQ's:
"If the transverter option is not installed, can the K3 use
ANT2 as a de facto RX ANT?
Yes. If the KXV3 is not installed, you can designate either
antenna to either receiver."
So, this will allow me to transmit on a main antenna, and
receive on a beverage without a subreceiver or KXV3
installed, right?

I posed the same question to a couple of current K3 owners and they
said NO. You need the KXV3 installed to listen to another antenna.
One of them said that the isolation is very poor between ANT1 and
ANT2, therefore you need the KXV3. It would be nice to have
Elecraft's clarification on this, because the FAQ seems pretty clear
and contrary to what other owners have said.
