[Elecraft] 2nd Receiver Question

[WILLIS COOKE]

The sub-receiver comes with a BNC jack that can be used if you don't have an antenna tuner or if you don't want to use the second SO239 on the tuner.  The receiver mutes when you transmit, but is fast enough that you can use it when transmitting QSK.  It does pop a little when QSK but is only a little annoying.  You can receive on the transmit antenna or the receive antenna, your choice.  If you want to use a transmit antenna for diversity receive, you need the tuner.   The top antenna jack is connected through the main connector to the sub receiver.  You connect the second antenna with a supplied coax jumper to the tuner or with the cable connected to the supplied BNC jack.  You can connect either, but not both at the same time.  I agree it is confusing, and it is hard to describe, but we seem to figure it out when we have the parts in hand.

Subject: [Elecraft] 2nd Receiver Question

Does the second receiver have it's own antenna jack or do I need the ATU to
get the second jack?



Also how does the 2nd receiver handle overload from my transmitted signal?



I am not quite sure how this works from reviewing the manual.



I hope this is not a dumb question, but I appreciate the answers.
