[Elecraft] [K3] max input voltage on Ant 1 or 2

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thanks, this is basically what I did. I made a 2' twisted pair of red  
& black wire and connected one end of the black wire to the output of  
the ref osc (Racal 5MHz stable with oven etc) and connected the other  
end of the red wire to the pin on K3 ANT2 - that gave me 9+20dB which  
was just great - I did the Ref Cal and found I was only a few Hz of  
the setting I done using a broadcast station of much lower freq.
