[Elecraft] K3 KXV3A without Xverters, sub receiver or P3

[Dick Dievendorff]

I don't know of any interactions between the sub receiver and KXV3A.

The KXV3A provides an Rx Antenna connector, transverter connection, IF tap
for a panadaptor (such as the Elecraft P3, Telepost LP-PAN, or an RFSpaces
SDR-IQ), and Rx Ant In/Out for a preamp such as the Elecraft PR6, or for
another receiver to share the same Rx antenna for A/B comparisions, etc.

You can also use the KAT3 to provide two antenna connectors for diversity
(with a sub receiver), with the main Rx on ANT1 and the sub Rx on ANT2 if
you've decided not to invest in a KXV3A.

If I do not have a sub receiver, Xverter or a P3 is there any reason to
install a KXV3A?

 

The only thing I could come up with was the possiblty to use seperate
transmit and receive antennas under certain conditions.

For example, a vertical for transmit (due take off angle) and horizontal
dipole for receive (less noisy and provides directivity).

 

I picked this example because my small lot does not allow room for beverage
antennas which would be another case for using seperate transmit and receive
antennas.
