[Elecraft] K3 antenna routing

[Dick Green WC1M]

In reading the manual, it seems that the Sub receiver can't use the RX ANT
unless the receive antenna is connected to both RX ANT and AUX RF with a
Y-cable, and KRX3 is set to NOR:ANT3. This allows the Sub to use the RX ANT
for diversity reception, but eliminates the ability of the Sub to use any
other antenna (such as a second receive-only antenna) for diversity
reception. Is this correct? If so, I'd suggest a future mod to make antenna
routing between the Main and Sub receivers more flexible (and less
confusing.) The Orion antenna selection matrix is a good example to follow.
Complete flexibility in antenna selection will allow the user to take full
advantage of having two identical receivers.
