Re: [Elecraft] receiver guard
Is the intent to use the SDR-IQ as a separate receiver or as a panadapter? I suspect the former but if it's the later use the K3S i-f output into the SDR-IQ and setup SpectraVue appropriately. It works wonderfully. Otherwise follow K4TAX's advice. Wes N7WS On 9/19/2018 8:14 AM, NOEL POULIN wrote: Hello, I am going to use my SDR-IQ with my K3S ..KXV3A RX ANT IN and RX ANT OUT.

Re: [Elecraft] receiver guard
The RX Ant In and RX Ant Out are protected during transmit. As to protecting the input of the SDR-IQ, make sure you use very good quality connectors and very good quality coax such that any transmitted RF is not picked up by leakage into these components. I use Amphenol BNC connectors and double shield coax for my jumpers. Running near legal limit, I've not fried the front end of my SDR Play as of yet. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 9/19/2018 10:14 AM, NOEL POULIN wrote: Hello, I am going to use my SDR-IQ with my K3S ..KXV3A RX ANT IN and RX ANT OUT.
