Ok this is more complicated than it seems. What was not apparent to me is that Ant 1 and Ant 2 must be isolated in anything other than diversity mode. But what happens when you are sharing the antenna? i.e. Ant 1 is used by both receivers (with the 3db loss) and you transmit on Ant 1? I presume the main receiver input is grounded. Is the sub receiver is grounded as well?
I guess I do not still grasp the overall operation of the radio when transmit occurs. So the question is how isolated do the antennas have to be? I have two antennas, one a dipole in an attic. At the end of this dipole, outside and about 15 feet away (at right angles to the dipole) is a cushcraft vertical. I am only running 100w and so far I cannot tell if the cor has activated. I do not think so in the month or so I have been running it. What if the power goes up to the KPA500? Does this mean I should remove the subreceiver if the antennas are not isolated enough? -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Diversity-receive-with-ant1-and-ant2-tp6871758p6875507.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
