Smart thinking! Though using two receivers for this may be quite difficult to implement. They have to be *exactly* identical to obtain phase cancellation. That means AGC timing, roofing filter ripple, signal path gains, everything. I think this will be hard with the K3 and SubRX. The outboard

G4ILO said you need at least two extra controls, preferably three, one to vary the phasing of the two signals and the others to adjust the amplitude of the two inputs so that the noise levels cancel exactly. Sounds like a description of the DX Engineering NCC-1
