Ah... See how a simple question results in a better understanding of what's actually going on under the lid of the radio.. :-)
It's difficult to tell just what's best when only going by what you can hear... In essence then, I've no need to worry about using the PR6 when listening on the 2nd receiver.

MDS is typically in the -139 to -140 range via that path. In general, when running the sub RX via its dedicated AUX ANT connector, it has better 6M sensitivity than the main RX antenna path. The AUX ANT path does not have to go through the main T/R switching network or the LPFs, as it does on the main board when sharing the path with the main RX. This eliminates any rx path loss from those items. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Elecraft > > > On Thu Apr 2 7:57 , 'Andy GD0TEP' <a...@gd0tep.com> sent: > > >> Greg, what I was trying to do was use the K3 like my 756pro does, >> i.e. TX on the main socket out, but receive on the RX antenna, all >> the time maintaining the advantage of the PR6. >> >> 73 Andy >> http://www.gd0tep.com >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Greg - AB7R >> [a...@cablespeed.com','','','')">a...@cablespeed.com] >> Sent: 02 April 2009 15:45 >> To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net; 'Andy GD0TEP' >> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 and PR6 question >> >> I suppose if you REALLY wanted to do this you could use a second PR6 >> and run your >> >> RX ant to the PR6 input and the output connected to the AUX RF >> connector if its >> >> installed and KRX3 set to BNC.
