Re: [Elecraft] K3: KAT3 as RX-only

Mike, I don't think the K3 will do what you think it will. The non-transmit antenna (ANT1/ANT2) can't be used by the main receiver, only the subreceiver. Look at figure 3 on p39 of the manual. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. 73, Barry N1EU Mike B-12 wrote: Per the FAQ,

OK guys, thanks. That is what I had suspected, as I didn't see it diagrammed the way I was hoping to use it. That's OK, though - I can still configure the K3 to operate the way I want it to via the KXV3. Gotta love modularity. Barry N1EU wrote: Mike, I don't think the K3 will do what you

[Elecraft] K3: KAT3 as RX-only

2008-01-19 Thread Mike B
I'm looking at the options for a RX-only antenna on a stock K3. I understand that the primary way of doing this is with the KXV3. However, since I don't have a need for the transverter interfaces, or running a 2nd rig off the RX ANT OUT jack, I think the KAT3 will be more useful in the long
