You would have to switch back and forth manually, a dangerous solution. If you wish to use a receiving antenna you can purchase the transverter kit which supports a receive antenna. You could also build a box with a relay that switches to the Xmit antenna on ptt ground, much like the transverter board. You can also include a toggle to switch between the xmit or receive antenna regardless of the ptt state.

Dear Elcrafters, I don't have the sub receiver (jet) but I do have the tuner installed. Is it possible to use the 2nd antenna as an RX antenna? I would like to transmit on a vertical on ANT 1 and use beverages on ANT 2. Do I need to switch back and forward between ANT 1 and ANT 2 or can I set the K3 to do this automatically? 73, Maarten
