Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 + RX antenna
Don't forget to hold the sub button so that the diversity mode kicks in. 73 Arie PA3A -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] Namens Franki ON5ZO Verzonden: vrijdag 23 oktober 2009 17:04 Aan: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Onderwerp: [Elecraft] KRX3 + RX antenna Group, forgive me if this has come up before (which it has has) but contest fever kicks in. It seems that for the first time I have a "kinda" RX-antenna (solder still hot!). If I want to listen to both the 80m vertical and the RX loop at the same time, is this all I need to do: - set both receivers to the same frequency - connect RX antenna to "AUX RF BNC" - set KRX3 to "Ant = BNC" in the config menu Is that all there is to it?

Re: [Elecraft] KRX3 + RX antenna
It may seem obvious, but be sure that you also routed one of the TMP cables to the AUX connector!

>> If I want to listen to both the 80m vertical and the RX loop at the same >> time, is this all I need to do: OK, I got it nailed. I thought I forgot something but it works. I hope the K9AY loop will be the added value to my SB80 effort. It'll be the first time the KRX3 will be really put to use too after 9 months of mounting the option. I assume the 2nd RX (aux RF) is protected against RF pickup from the TX antenna? 73 de Franki ON5ZO = OQ5M __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

For example, you cannot have the TX antenna within the sides of the RX loop. Arranging antennas for Diversity or split operation should be done with that in mind and tested in advance of applying high power to the TX antenna. I would suggest you begin testing at 5 watts and increase the power incrementally a few watts at a time until you notice clicking or popping in the TX antenna when using QSK on CW. You should do that with SSB also [No QSK there ;o)]. It does take more real estate to have separate TX and RX antennas, but I don't know what the separation should be. You'll have to experiment with it. 73, Tom, N5GE n...@n5ge.com K3 #806, K3 #1055, PR6, XV144, XV432, KRC2, W1 and other small kits. 2 W2's on order 1 K144XV on order http://www.n5ge.com http://www.swotrc.net __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
