[Elecraft] Diversity receive with ant1 and ant2?

[Don Wilhelm]

I don't think turning off the sub will do the job - the antenna is still 
connected to the receiver input.
There are devices available to remove the antenna during transmit, but I 
would tend to make up my own.  A relay that is activated by the K3 KEY 
OUT line would be quite able to do that task.

The relay does not have to be very large since it only handles the RX 
antenna.  The relay contacts simply open the path between the K3 antenna 
input and the RX antenna, and closes that path for non-transmit.
