Gary,
What I found works very well is to take advantage of the RX ANT IN and OUT BNC
connectors. Connect your HI Z (or any other receive antenna - I have both
the HI Z-8 and Beverages) to the RX IN BNC connector. Next find a short piece
of coax (I happen to have a 2 ft or so piece of RG-400) with BNC connectors on
both ends and connect one end to the RX ANT OUT, and the other in to the AUG RF
IN connector.
I have found this set up works well for both receive on either the transmit
antenna or the RX ANT. When you switch to Diverse mode, the receive antenna
will be on the man receiver, and your transmit antenna will be on the sub
receiver.

Subject: [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.
With the K3, what I have done with the Rx coax is attach it to a T
connector with one end attached to the BNC connector {27} Aux RF,
located below ANT 2 and the other leg connected to the RX ANT - IN on
the KXV3.
Once I upgrade the two KBPF3 and Sub Rx board, I will migrate the Sub
RX to the K3s
With the K3s, how should I connect the RX antenna to be most
effective with the K3s & diversity? As I have it now?
Thanks,
Gary
