Hi Don,

Correct me if I am wrong.

The back panel diagram of the K3 shows two BNC's labed RX antenna. I thought the thread originator was referring to this input path for a RX antenna. It's what I use for RX antenna input.

I see "spark gaps" on the inputs on those pages you quote. I don't see a carrier operated relay for the above BNC's. If it is there. I don't see it on the schematics. The relay that is there is to complete the rx/tx circuit when the BNC's are not in use. At least that's what I can glean from the circuit.

The aux antenna BNC didn't come till later when the subrx and diversity reception became a reality. It does have a real relay that goes click, click with too much RF. It also has a spark gap protector.

See pages 41 through 44.

There is no COR on the RX antenna input (it's not needed, I think.)
