[Elecraft] K3 Seperate Rx Antenna

[Don Ehrlich]

My K3 has no KRX3 subreceiver and no KXV3 transverter and I want to use a 
seperate receive-only antenna for general HF operation.

Today I tried to use the RX-IN for the seperate antenna, switching to the 
seperate antenna for receive-only by pressing the RX ANT  button on the K3, 
and found that it did not work.  So I read the manual and discover that use 
of a seperate receive antenna in this way is  possible only when a KXV3 is 
installed and is only for use with the KXV3.  Am I reading the manual 
correctly?

I clearly remember having done this before successfully on HF bands with my 
stock K3 and still have the BNC-S0239 adapter that I used before to connect 
my receive-only antenna to the RX-IN BNC connector on the back of the K3. 
The only antenna-related change in the K3 since that time is the 
installation of the autotuner.

Please don't tell me my memory is wrong.  I'm too young to face the 
possibility of having become delusional.
