[Elecraft] K3 and external receiver

2014-10-31 Thread Per-Tore Aasestrand 
Hello,

My K3 has KPA3 and KAT3 installed, nut not the KRX3

The K3 has a nice way of switching antennas when using both main and sub-rx.

I want to use an external rx (R&S EK 896). Is there a nice way to do this?
My main concern is of course to protect the external rx when transmitting
with the K3.

73es,

Per-Tore

Per-Tore,

I have not tried it, but from a look at the K3 Block Diagram, it would 
appear that you could connect the external receiver to the RX ANT OUT 
jack (requires the KXV3 option) and tell the K3 to use the RX ANT (that 
is a per band setting).


The K3 Low Pass Filters would be in the path between the antenna and 
that output, but it is behind the TR switch which should protect the 
external receiver during transmit.  Muting the external receiver is not 
part of that connection - you are on your own to devise the means for 
muting that receiver during transmit.

Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, I do not have the KXV3 option.

So you need to add it. :) Easy to do -- just order it.
