[Elecraft] (K3) diversity - relay click

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello,

I am using diversity and I notice something like a relay inside the K3 when
transmitting.

Some weeks ago Don told me about a problem I has with the RX ANT IN. The
problem was that the antenna I was using in RX ANT IN was very close to the
TX antenna.

In the case of diversity I have a 160 delta loop connected in AUX RF and a
160 sloper connected to the ANT1.

In this case the two antennas must be far away one from the other?

This is the same problem I had when using a RX antenna in RX ANT IN?

Thanks,
Jorge

Jorge,

The clicking you hear is the COR (carrier operated relay) on the RX ANT 
activating to protect the K3 receiver. 
Your 40 mtr Yagi is picking up much more of your TX signal than the 
Beverage. 
You should take steps to reduce the amount of TX signal picked up by the 
RX ant.
