Yes. There are two ways to do this.

1. The main and sub can share the received signal coming from the XVTR 
IN jack, via the passive 3-dB splitter.

2. The sub receiver's aux RF input can be routed to the "AUX RF" BNC 
jack near the main antenna jacks. This jack could be connected to RX 
I.F. output of a second transverter. This would eliminate the splitter, 
although in practice, the NF of the system is established at the input 
to the transverter, not its I.F. But it would allow you to get the main 
and sub RX inputs from separate transverters if required. You could 
even use different I.F.s. The K3 allows you to set up each transverter 
band independently (up to 9 bands), and put the two receivers on 
different bands.
