I just tried it out on my radio and thought that in split mode I could have a different antenna selected but on the same band. I couldn't with the firmware I am running now. So, the correct answer is at present that you have to hit the antenna switch to toggle. Perhaps a future

Alternative is to build yourself an external box which switches in the RX antenna for RX and to the xmit antenna for xmit. You can use key out' to orchestrate this. Have had to do this with quite a few radios that did not have RX antenna inputs. Mine uses a large reed relay and thus rapidly

I have my K3 on order with the KAT3 ATU. Do I also have to order the KXV3 in order to have an aux receive input port ? The aux receive port came as part of the 160m option in my K2, but 160 is already included in the K3, so I need this clarification (and maybe a quick order update :-) ) Thanks
