I don't think he has a "second K3".  The SO4R expedition only has ONE K3
plus 3 IC-7000s according to their website below.

I believe he''s saying his KRX3 has not been wired for AUX RF, but it's
really not clear.

If he has a KXV3 but KRX3 was not wired for AUX RF, what I suggested will
allow him to have the RX ANT Beverage applied to both Main and Sub without
an external splitter (by using the one internal to the K3).His description
is incomplete.  Whether he has a KXV3, whether he has a KAT3 and how the
KRX3 is wired internally (to AUX RF or to KAT3's ANT2 input) are all unknown
but necessary to answer his question.  Hopefully the K3 manual descriptions
on pages 40-42 of the four different KANT3/KAT3/KXV3 combinations will be
enough for him to figure it out himself.
