Maybe I'm missing something here. What about the
following
from the K3 FAQ's:

"If the transverter option is not installed, can the K3
use
ANT2 as a de facto RX ANT?

Yes.  If the KXV3 is not installed, you can designate
either
antenna to either receiver."

So, this will allow me to transmit on a main antenna, and
receive on a beverage without a subreceiver or KXV3
installed, right?

I posed the same question to a couple of current K3 owners
and they
said NO.  You need the KXV3 installed to listen to another
antenna.
One of them said that the isolation is very poor between
ANT1 and
ANT2, therefore you need the KXV3.  It would be nice to
have
Elecraft's clarification on this, because the FAQ seems
pretty clear
and contrary to what other owners have said.

Hi Chad,

I thought this reply was an authoritative answer:

I believe Lyle Johnson is an Elecraft employee.
