[Elecraft] Strange K2 Behaviour - KAT100 Antenna Isolation

Hi All,

Continuing the theme of describing strange K2 behaviour!  My KAT100 is
remotely installed in an EC2.  I use ANT1 with nothing connected to the 2nd
antenna socket.  Recently I noticed that having tuned in a relatively strong
station on ANT 1 and switching to the 2nd antenna (ie by pressing ANT1/ANT2
switch) that I could still hear the station even though there is no antenna
connected to ANT2.  This made me wonder what the isolation is between the
two antenna sockets and if anyone has measured it or whether I have a
problem that I need to locate and fix.  Sorry, but I haven't yet swapped the
antenna to see if the behaviour reciprocates.
