[Elecraft] [K3] K3: REF IN

[Brett Howard]

This is very interesting!  I'd not heard about this board but I did
see all the extra connection holes in the K144XV shield!  I'm very
interested to get the feature to be able to use the subRX on 2M while
the main is not!  This is one of the things I was hoping to be able to
do with the unit.  Should allow me to wait for a sked or even monitor
a repeater if need be while scanning around on other HF bands...
