[Elecraft] Re: Question re K3 diversity reception

[Julius Fazekas]

Tony,

There is a bunch of info online that addresses your question. Look for W3NQN filters, notch filters, http://www.n6rk.com/loopantennas/pacificon.pdf , coax stubs, VP6DX presentations, ICE, CQ-Contest reflector. 

>From what I've read and talked with others about, it's a rare situation that you would not need something even at LP levels. HP it's pretty much a given. The biggest decision you may have to make is what will work for you... Oh and how much time and/or money to put into getting it right.

One could argue that with all the RF floating around most neighborhoods, band pass filters are a definite plus for weak signal work on the low bands.

Too, check out the YCCC, and other big contest group or station, websites for ideas about what works and what does not.

Wayne,
To carry this one step more, what about when I am running multiple K3's on
different bands at the same time? Do you recommend to use external receive
bandpass filters on the receive lines if I am using receive antennas on  the
Receive Antenna and/or Aux input?
And also use transmit bandpass filters on the transmit antenna input when I
am using the transmit antenna for both receive and transmit?"
