pg 38 - Basic K3 states
"An extra RF I/O connector location is provided (AUX RF, BNC). The sub  
receiver’s auxiliary input can
optionally be routed to this connector. K1 then selects either the  
main RX path or AUX RF as the sub receiver’s
RF source."

I have this hole in the back panel, with a blanking plug. How one  
connects a BNC socket to it, I'm not sure, but I'd like to put that  
mod in.
