Hi Barry, Oh dear... I hope Father Christmas brings me a new brain ! The problem is that I had convinced myself that there was only one input path into the Sub RX, and that came in via J92. In reality there is another path via the RF board.
End result is that when I actually tried it (using the BNC) - it worked, just like everyone says it does ! All I have to do now is make a signal splitter to take the loop pre-amp output to both the RX Ant on the KXV3 and the AUX BNC input. I am sure that I am not the first (or last) to get confused with the K3 antenna routing. Of course there are diagrams in the manuals, but a bit more detail with maybe plugs and sockets marked might help. Thanks to all who responded, and a Merry Christmas. 73 Stewart G3RXQ On Wed, 23 Dec 2009 05:47:24 -0800 (PST), Barry N1EU wrote: > > I don't see the necessity to connect Main ant to subrx with a different ant > on mainrx.
