Smart thinking!

Though using two receivers for this may be quite difficult to implement.
They have to be *exactly* identical to obtain phase cancellation.
That means AGC timing, roofing filter ripple, signal path gains, everything.
I think this will be hard with the K3 and SubRX.

The outboard noise-cancellation boxes have a much shorter/simpler and wider
signal path, making cancellation easier. It may also be a better place to do
this at the front-end and not at the back-end of a receiver.

It would be a nice experiment though!
How about just phase reverting the SubRX audio temporarily and give it a
try?
