All radios that have an independent sub receiver have an identical
splitter to allow two receivers to use the same receive antenna path. It
is rare that you will ever notice the very small difference in signal
level, as Bill mentions.
Also, when the sub RX is not turned on, (or when it is receiving on an
independent antenna) the signal is -not- being split and hence their is
no loss.

3 dB should not be a major a problem except possibly on 10/6m, where you
might need a preamp. The atmospheric noise floor on the lower bands is well
above the noise floor of the K3 and you'll probably not miss 3 dB. For
example on 160m I normally operate with the 10 dB ATTenuator on. On 10m my
"preamp" is a 22 dBi gain antenna so I doubt 3 dB is an issue for me (no
sunspots is an issue however!)
