[Elecraft] K3S RX antenna switching questions

I am surprised that the front end protection would kick on with that much RX antenna spacing and only 50 watts unless there is another way RF is getting into the shack. If that is what's happening I concur with W3FPR. Another option would be a receiver overload protector such as

Re: [Elecraft] K3S RX antenna switching questions

Steve, I suspect that increasing the TX Delay will *not* fix that problem. Since at greater than 50 watts, you hear relays clicking indicates that the K3S COR is being activated. The solution is to either move your RX antenna further from the TX antenna or use some device that disconnects or

[Elecraft] K3S RX antenna switching questions

Here's the setup : 3 month old K3S. Full wave 80 mtr RX loop. Closest point to TX antenna is around 200 ft. Over 50 watts I hear relays clicking and stations have a hard time breaking in even using QRQ plus. I assume the RX antenna is not switching fast enough and I'm getting  milliseconds of

Hi Gary, I don't know if it's right or wrong to do it the way you described. I chose to purchase a 2 port splitter from DX Engineering. Their part number is DXE-RSC-2. I suppose there are cheaper alternatives. http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/dxe-rsc-2 73, Mike K2MK Gary Smith-2 wrote > My

[Elecraft] K3s & Rx antenna

My order is in Queue for a K3s. I currently have a K3 with sub Rx and have a HI-Z Rx antenna I use with the K3. Sometimes I like listening with only the Rx antenna, sometimes I like listening from the the Tx antenna. When I use diversity I want to hear from both the Rx and main antennae.

Re: [Elecraft] K3s & Rx antenna

Gary, You can connect it as you have it now, but you can simplify - just connect the RX antenna to the AUX RF BNC connector and then enter BSUB and select the AUX antenna input for the subRX. If you also want the RX antenna to feed the main RX when the RX antenna is selected, you will have

Re: [Elecraft] K3s & Rx antenna

Replace the T connector with a hybrid splitter ... connect one output to the Aux Ant (Sub RX) and the other to the RF In (Main Rx). I like to feed the splitter with a RX antenna switch - each of the RX antennas plus a line from the RX Out jack. Ideally one would put a splitter on each RX
