I want to set my K3/100 up for diversity reception using my main
antenna (doublet) and a receive loop with with pre-amp.
The K3 is fitted with a KAT3, KXV3 and KRX3.
As I wish to keep maximum flexibility of antenna switching I do
not want to use the AUX BNC for the Sub RX as it stops me from
easily using either the main antenna or loop as Sub RX input. I
don't want to be reconfiguring the K3 hardware as my needs change.
The setup I have arrived at is
Main RX - Ant 1 - Doublet
Sub RX - Ant 2 - Loop pre-amp (with output switchable to RX ant
input)
This works, but obviously has the potential to damage the loop
pre-amp if I accidentally transmit to Ant 2 connector.
It would be nice if a Ant 2 TX inhibit per band were available.
Is this possible ?
Maybe there is a more elegant solution that I have missed.
