Can I run power with a good receive antenna connected to

Yes. We've pumped several watts into the KRX3's aux antenna input
without any sign of damage. (But anything above about 1 to 2 watts
measured at the sub's AUX input will activate the carrier-operated
relay, or COR, which should be avoided because it slows down break-in
keying receive recovery.)
As long as the receive antenna is a reasonable distance from the
transmit antenna, the COR won't be activated, and you'll be at a safe
level. The AUX BNC jack provides somewhat better isolation than the
KAT3 connector, so it may be the better choice if you're not sure if
the antennas are far enough apart at the intended power level.
