The hookup is simple you use the receive antenna input on the K3 all else is taken by the control unit itself works well and disables receiver during transmit. Everything is plug-n-play with the antenna.
If you live in the country or a very low noise area you will see a small improvement. On the other hand if it's a high noise area like in a town or close to a city it makes a lot of difference. It will give you directional performance also and turns with a small TV rotor. I live in the country on a farm and have seen very little improvements over my other receive only antennas. My main reason for one was for 160m receive, it was no help over my other antennas. At this time have decided to sell the complete antenna in factory box. Just a few months old with everything I bought extra for it 300' of coax, wire, rotor cable, New RS TV rotor & control. This is also an excellent LOWFER antenna as well. Anyone interested contact me off board, -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jack Smith Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2013 8:10 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 using Pixel magnetic antenna Treat the Pixel as a second antenna. You will need the KXV3 for this. http://www.elecraft.com/K3/K3_Antenna_Routing.pdf should answer your questions. Use the automatic disable feature of the Pixel's DC power coupler. The power coupler manual provides a hook up diagram for that purpose. Jack K8ZOA On 6/4/2013 8:51 PM, w9hak wrote: > Has anyone used the Pixel magnetic antenna with their K3?
